Description

Come make some art with Andrea Nelson, former pre-school special education teacher turned full-time artist and content creator! Her short art videos on Instagram and TikTok are for people who may be intimidated by art or have no artistic experience at all. Her goal is to help people unlock their creativity through art that feels doable and fun. In this episode, you'll hear about...

• her "origin story" 


• art as a process vs. a product 


• the evolution of her art-making and how it's connected to mental health and well-being


• how her teaching inspires others to welcome their inner artist, and the connection it has created between communities, families, parents and children and beyond. 

Andrea also guides us through a simple water color project with expressive color.

For the art project, you'll need:

• paper


• watercolors


• brushes, a cup of water, and paper towels


• a pen
