Made for for homeschoolers
Finding the right homeschool art class can be challenging — especially one that feels calm, supportive, and truly enriching. The Mindful Watercolor Club was created specifically for homeschool families who want more than just an art lesson. Here’s why parents love it:
Daytime schedule designed for homeschool rhythms
Gentle, supportive teaching style that helps kids feel safe and encouraged
Helps with emotional regulation, focus, and stress reduction
Encourages creativity, imagination, and self-expression
A small, safe online community where kids can be themselves
Not rigid, competitive, or perfection-based — ideal for sensitive, creative, or anxious learners
This class blends creativity with mindfulness so your child gets both enrichment and emotional nourishment.
What your child will experience
🌿 Calm
A soothing, screen-positive space where your child can slow down, breathe, and settle into the gentle rhythm of watercolor.
Each class begins with grounding and ends with a peaceful sense of ease — helping kids regulate emotions and feel more centered throughout their day.
🎨 Creativity
A guided-but-free creative experience that encourages imagination, exploration, and artistic play.
Kids learn simple watercolor techniques, experiment with color, and discover their own style without pressure, perfectionism, or comparison.
💛 Confidence
A supportive environment where your child feels safe to try new things, make mistakes, and express themselves.
Through gentle encouragement and optional sharing, kids build creative confidence and pride in their unique ideas and artwork.
Weekly Class Structure
Every watercolor session follows a nurturing rhythm that helps kids feel grounded, inspired, and confident:
Grounding & settling (mindful breathing + gentle check-in)
Watercolor demo (simple, step-by-step technique or theme)
Guided painting with encouragement and freedom to explore
Creative exploration time to make the artwork uniquely theirs
Optional sharing for confidence and connection
Encouraging send-off so they leave feeling calm, proud, and inspired
This structure helps kids relax, focus, and enjoy creating — no pressure, no competition.

This homeschool watercolor class is ideal for:
Sensitive or anxious kids who benefit from a calming space

About the instructor
Cassie Zhang Arver
Hi, I’m Cassie — a watercolor artist, art instructor, and certified stress-reduction coach based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I specialize in creating calm, joyful learning spaces where children feel safe to explore, express, and grow.
I’ve taught art to seniors, youth, and community groups with one core mission: to bring more peace, creativity, and connection into people’s lives. With a BFA in Illustration from ArtCenter College of Design and heart-coherence training from the HeartMath Institute, I blend art and mindfulness to create uplifting experiences for kids of all backgrounds.
In the Mindful Watercolor Club, I focus on encouragement over perfection, creativity over comparison, and kindness in every brushstroke. Your child will always be welcomed with warmth and supported with care.
