Animal Kindness Children's Art Club

What Children Will Learn

Instructor Barbara Steinberg teaches students to draw and shade animals and plants. She feels under every good painting is a good drawing. She teaches children how to blend and mix colors and handle the paint brush.

Children will learn to draw Animals and Flora, to mix colors true to nature with the following basic primary colors: red, yellow and blue. The first class covers instruction on Color Blending and exercises suitable for beginning to advanced students.

They also learn to care for and protect our planet and learn scientific facts about each animal and plant that we paint. Children also receive guidance in the care of our Companion Animals such as: dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and guinea pigs by adopting an attitude of being the animal's guardian instead of owner and taking a more responsible role of caring for the animals and planet.

Individual student guidance is modulated to each child's age and skill levels. There is an Art Show with awards given with positive reinforcement for the parents and family during the last class.
