Family Studio: Spooky Silhouettes

Make art side-by-side as a family! Each week, you will explore a new medium to create a beautiful project together. Learn to paint dramatic sunset backgrounds using liquid watercolor paints and incorporate silhouettes of your favorite autumnal items (such as creaky trees, haunted houses, bats, owls, ghosts, and goblins). Silhouettes will be made using a variety of materials including tempera paint, ink, or construction paper.

Special Notes

This program is best suited for families with children aged 3 to 8, however, all family members are welcome. All materials and equipment are provided.

About the Instructor

Erin Powell

As a child, art gave me confidence, focus, and motivation in school. I spent my free time playing in the woods, drawing, and taking care of my many pets – which included several cats and even a small flock of sheep. My artwork today is filled with inspiration from these experiences, especially nature and animals.

I enjoy sharing my talents with others; to empower the struggling student, include the exceptional, and inspire anyone with an interest in creating. I have a BFA in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. I previously worked as an elementary art teacher in Charles City County. Following the birth of my 2 lovely daughters, my focus changed to Early Childhood Education. I earned a certificate in Early Childhood Education from John Tyler Community College and am currently a lead teacher at a play-based preschool in Bon Air where my days are filled with art, music, and fun with the 3-4 year olds in my class.
