I am offering another series of Art Classes for the Winter-Spring term. Classes start Monday, January 22nd and Wednesday January 24th and will be held at the NCRD Kitchen Room from 4-5:30.
Mondays are 5-8 yr olds and Wednesdays are 9 and up. These age requirements are flexible and a bit of an experiment to see if there is interest in different age groups in our community. If one day works better than the other for your child please reach out and let me know and we can make it work!
For this series we will focus on fundamental skills in drawing, painting, and sculpture. Each week we will begin with drawing exercises to develop the building blocks of visual perception and organization. We will then progress into multimedia projects where the students will develop their own creative voice and freedom.
To receive more information and to register and reserve your child’s spot please email Reeva Wortel tigrereeva@gmail.com
or call/text (503) 816-1724
A bio about my background as an artist and a teacher:
Reeva Wortel is a contemporary artist, social worker, and teaching artist. Through portraiture, immersive installations, dance-theater, and multi-year community based art projects and murals, she has spent over 20 years exploring the depths of human complexity by utilizing her art, teaching, and social work to re-imagine the communities we live in toward a more just and equitable world.
In her experience as an arts educator Reeva Wortel has witnessed how the arts promote positive development in the academic, social, and emotional realms for all students. Wortel believes that when children engage in art projects they’re taught to tap into their innovative side, to think creatively, and out of the box and that this process inspires children, supporting them in all aspects of their lives.
