Need quality activities for your children during the coronavirus quarantine? Allow professional mixed media artist, Jordan Kim, guide your 6-12 year old though a 2-hour creative collage project online using the Zoom platform. Jordan is a teaching artist with Arts in Education of the Gorge and frequently teaches students ranging from 5-13 years old through the public schools. This project will focus on making collage portraits - learning tips and tricks to face proportions and feature placement.
To do this project, your child will need the following supplies:
- White copy paper
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Markers (crayons can work)
- White and black acrylic or tempera paint - (we can make it work with watercolors and black sharpie, but acyrlic paint would be great!)
- Glue - any kind will do - Elmers, Mod Podge, Glue Stick
- One sheet of heavy paper - construction or watercolor (any color is okay)
- Old neutral colored papers with text on them (at least 3-5 types) - old newspaper, magazine, junk mail, old book, old sheet music, etc. (Things that we can cut up and paint on. Matte finish is best (glossy magazine pictures are hard to paint on.)
If you need any of these items and live in the Gorge area, Tokki Art Supply *may* be able to help you get these supplies depending on availability. If this is not an option, contact me and I will work with you to come up with alternative supplies that will work.
If you are not familiar with Zoom, it is a free, secure, video conferencing platform. Once you register, you will be sent a secure link and password that you can use to log your child into the class on any device (phone, computer or tablet) at the scheduled class time. You can choose to allow your child to share his/her screen or not. Jordan will give *live* instruction. (*Note that this is not a pre-recorded class!) If you opt to allow screen sharing, children can get personal assistance with their projects. This is not a requirement for the course.
Cost is $20/class. **Please note: Class fee is per household, not per child.** In partnership with Tokki Art Supply.
