Created to Create: Watercolor Art
Instructor: Mrs. Woodrow
Class Description:
This class is a gentle, hands-on watercolor art class designed for young children. Students will explore basic watercolor techniques, color mixing, and creative expression in a relaxed and encouraging environment. Throughout the class, children will be reminded that they are created in God’s image and that creativity is a gift from Him (Genesis 1:27). Each week will include a simple, age-appropriate faith connection that points to God as our Creator while allowing students plenty of freedom to create and enjoy the process of art. The focus of this class is confidence, creativity, and having fun — not perfection.
