Youth Arts – Watercolor Pencil Birds

Using watercolor pencils, we’ll create birds with blended colors that almost fly off the page! A great way to play with both pencil and paint, watercolor pencils are a favorite of kids and adults alike.

Janice Althouse has been an educator for 28 years in the Saddleback Valley Unified School District. She has taught various grades, though her favorite is 2nd. Happily married and with three grown children, Janice has taught art classes for many years after exploring art classes in college. She feels art is an amazing way to express yourself and believes that all art is so beautiful to look at – whether you’re talking about children’s art or adult art. Janice loves art and thinks that getting started in any kind of art medium is the first step to becoming creative. She is so excited to be given the opportunity to teach at the Festival of Arts this year.
