Art Workshops!

Hello!
I’d like to introduce myself, my name is Joanne Howard and I’m an Artist. I work mainly in watercolour & oil pastel but have also tried my hand at sculpture, oils, and technology based mediums. I'm a professional art instructor with 18 years experience teaching art to children, teens and adults.

For some years now, I have been offering hands-on art workshops to Elementary Schools in the Lower Mainland. These workshops take place in your classroom and most lessons take about 1.5 hours. (a few complex lessons require 2 hours and there are a few 1 hour Kindergarten projects.) Most teachers find that 3 workshops fit nicely into the day.

This is a field trip without the bus! Students treat these workshops as something special! They pay close attention to the lesson and work with enthusiasm on the project. Teachers are often surprised at the work produced by their students. At the end of the session, students will have created a piece of art that they can proudly display and take home to their families.

I believe that studying art and exploring creativity provides children with much more than just a pretty picture! It provides a sense of accomplishment, opens minds to new possibilities and improves quality of life.

I teach in a friendly & relaxed style that promotes confidence and enthusiasm. I'm a hands-on teacher. I like to give each student as much personal attention as possible. Everyone has their own unique style and I love to encourage individuality within the lesson guidelines. I tend to enjoy these workshops as much as the kids do!
