family-friendly paint days
(Singles or 4-class bundles)
Ages 6+ yrs

Paint with a BFF. Paint with a family member. Paint solo!

In these child-focused, family-friendly, painting classes, younger children are welcome to paint independently or with their favourite people!

Each class, Ms. Rose will teach participants, step-by-step, how to create a painted masterpiece on stretched canvas. And in true Dreaming Heart style, young artists will always be encouraged to express their uniqueness!

We're all about creative freedom at the Dreaming Heart!

A NOTE TO PARENTS:

FAMILY-FRIENDLY CLASSES (6+ yrs.)

Adult family members are welcome to join in!

That said, please be aware that instruction is child-focused (ages 6-12 yrs.), and adults and older siblings (who tend to be much more detail-oriented) may find the painting pace a little quick!

Kiddos are welcome to create with family, friends, or on their own.

If not participating, adults are welcome to either sit in the lounge area or drop off their children and pick them up at the end of class.

CREATIVE FREEDOM

In all of my painting classes, I explain to participants that I will be showing them, step-by-step, how I completed my finished canvas. I also let them know that they are more than welcome to paint according to their unique creative vision and style!

This means that your brilliant young artist may come home with an art piece that doesn't exactly resemble the sample piece. And to this, Ms. Rose shouts with great pride and joy "YAHOO!!!"

One-of-a-kind art pieces mean your child is...

Fully immersed in the creative process (and reaping all the many benefits that art has to offer, all of which FAR outweigh the end result).

Communicating emotions and ideas that are important to them and that they are feeling brave enough to share with the world. Amazing.

Experimenting, taking creative risks, and problem-solving.

Learning about the art materials they are using.

Building their intuition and self-confidence.

Processing Ms. Rose's instruction and applying what interests them and meets their creative needs at that time.

Being kids and having FUN!

UNFINISHED PAINTINGS-

It's important to note that everyone creates at their own unique pace.

This means some artists may finish early (yay for backup colouring books!) and some artists may not complete their canvas within the given time period.

But fret not! For those who wish to finish working on their art piece at home, I will top-up their paint palette before sending them on their creative, merry way.
