Hi, I’m Teacher Precious!
Welcome to the introductory course for teaching watercolor painting to children of all abilities.
This course will help you teach art to your kids even if you’re not an art teacher.
This is designed perfectly for:
PARENTS
TEACHERS
THERAPISTS
who are engaged in teaching children with varying needs and abilities. This course will also talk about adaptations and modifications of art activities for children with special needs, particularly those who are diagnosed with autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, or down syndrome.
If you are a homeschooling parent who would want to save money from hiring an art teacher, why not teach art to them personally?
“But I’m not an artist.”
That’s the excuse that I always hear from a non-artist parent or teacher.
I believe your concerns are real, and some people can get easily intimidated about creating art, especially if they believe that they were not born an artist. The problem is sometimes our kids show creative talent and artistic potential, yet we don’t know what to do with it. This is very common for children with special needs, particularly children with autism or ADHD. We try to find a suitable art workshop outside the school, but sometimes we’re afraid that the class might not be able to handle our child’s needs. We try to find a specialized art teacher but had difficulty finding a competent one. And when we do find a qualified art teacher to do private classes, we realize it’s expensive.
In the end, we feel pity that we could've developed the hidden potential of our child through creative art activities instead of immersing them in gadgets and iPad games.
Those reasons are valid, and I feel for those parents, teachers, and therapists who feel frustrated and don't know even how to start. For non-artists, it may be hard to do art, what more to teach it?
I've encountered so many people who felt the same way.
That's why I made this course, especially for you, to figure out the best way to spark your child's interest in Art; centered around their level of skill, safety, and interest. The awesome part is you can do all of this at home.
This course tries to be inclusive as possible by applying the universal design for learning for children with special needs.
We will tackle all the basics from:
By the end of this course, you'll learn:
How to be familiar with the basic watercolor materials
How to teach the basic watercolor techniques commonly used by professional artists
How to create a Sunrise Silhouette and Sunny Sea watercolor mixed-media painting.
Imagine having the confidence and skill to teach easy, simple, but beautiful paintings.
Aside from this, you'll be able to:
enjoy and connect with your child through meaningful art activities
meet their need for your attention in a productive way
have more sense of achievement
express themselves more through their artwork
I challenge you to take this first step, and I'll be here to guide you along the way.
Just like Ralph Waldo Emerson said,
"Every artist was first an amateur."
Let's get started!
