Virtual Painting Classes

 

 

Unleash your creativity from the comfort of your home with our interactive virtual painting classes! Join us as ABC Crate partners with Discover Your Pallette for Kidz to guide you step-by-step
in creating stunning artwork. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned artist, you’ll learn fun techniques and have fun in our supportive virtual painting workshop.

Don’t miss this chance to connect, create, and express your artistic side. Sign up today and let your masterpieces begin. Each session is from 1 1/2 to 2 hours and each block of classes will run for three weeks, and your child/children will complete three paintings. You will receive your hands-on art supplies and support material before the workshops begin.

You must include your email on your order to be able to receive the protected Zoom link and password. You cannot share the link, because only the purchasing customer will be let in to the virtual session. If you have multiple students at home, you must purchase a kit for each. We will have a monitor during the workshop to make sure only the purchasing student(s) is/are on the Zoom. The parent/teacher is permitted to help set up the camera. If you have multiple students/children, you need to make sure the camera is set up so that we can see their canvas to assist them.

Homeschool families:  We are selling spots ahead of time to allow you to put in a request with your child's homeschool organization. Knowing their timeframe in getting us purchase orders, feel free to email us at abccrateed@gmail.com after you put your request in to save your spot.

ABC Crate is very excited to broaden our virtual workshops to include art classes for kids. Caroline has observed Marianne on a professional level in various schools as well as through a personal level when my daughter was younger in classes and camps.

Discover Your Palette for Kidz offers after school painting classes to kidz in Grades K-8! Your child does not need ANY artistic talent or experience. We help children unveil their inner artist by joining us one day a week for one to two hours in a 3-week session.

Marianne graduated from The Art Institute of Philadelphia. She is a graphic designer with more than 30+ years of experience. Her passion has been teaching and creating art with elementary age students. Marianne launched Discover Your Palette in 2010 working with adults at local Vineyards. In 2013 “Discover Your Palette for Kidz” (DYPK) was born. For the past 11 years Marianne has worked with more than 25 local schools creating an after-school painting program. DYPK has become popular with the students and parents that we almost sell out every class.

Caroline graduated from The University of Delaware. She has been a certified Montessori teacher of 18 plus years, who is certified in Early Childhood Education (preschool and Kindergarten), Elementary Education I (grades 1st to 3rd), and Elementary Education II (grades 4th to 6th). Caroline opened ABC Crate, LLC to spread the joys of Montessori lessons and philosophies with all who seek wonderful lessons and educational experiences for their little and not so little ones. Having 25 plus years as a parent educator, she has worked with hundreds of families to create beautiful homeschool spaces as well as secondary learning environments for families that have children in public or private schools.
