Minni ColorShop (Virtual)

Ages 4–10 

Minni’s private online workshops are designed to keep little ones ages 4–10 creating from the comfort of home. Each themed virtual workshop focuses on skill development, simple repurposed materials and unique ways to engage with our environments. 

In Minni ColorShop (virtual) students will embark on their own colorful course as they learn how to name and mix a full spectrum of original shades. Instructor Maria will offer a foundational introduction to color theory before students transform original colors into vibrant works of art.

Materials 

• Scavenger hunt items: 3 objects in secondary colors (orange, purple, green). Keep to objects of simple shapes such as blocks, books, boxes and toys. Objects can be any shade of orange, purple and green. No need to have an object in each color!

• White paper

• Pencil

• Red, yellow, blue and white tempera paint in a palette, tray or small dishes (an egg carton makes a great paint palette)

• Extra bowls or containers to mix paint in if not using a palette

• Cup or small container of water

• Paint brush
  

  We encourage all participants to complete a fun scavenger hunt challenge before we gather for each workshop. These items are listed above in the material list.
