In this one-time class, the children will be introduced to an amazing and free graphic design tool - CANVA! We will begin the class by talking about what a Vision Board is and get the kids dreaming and thinking about what they would love to look at to inspire them. Vision boards help kids set goals. Visually seeing these goals is a great reminder and helps the mind focus on what is important. The kids will learn how to add photos to their design, crop them, add fun decorative elements, and add text to truly make the Vision Board an inspiring work of art. The children can create Vision Boards that include items like: - favorite things - favorite hobbies/sports/activities - big dreams and goals - favorite subjects - dream job - dream vacation - favorite quotes - health goals - school goals By the end of this class, the kids will gain a basic familiarity and comfort level with Canva to explore even more about Canva on their own and continue to create truly beautiful graphic designs. I look forward to meeting your child and empowering them with this powerful tool!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi!
My name is Risa and I LOVE arts & crafts, singing, painting, and graphic design. I am a lifelong learner and I'm interested in history, science, and leadership.
I ALWAYS have an arts & crafts project going on. I am currently creating wearable art by painting beautiful pictures on shirts. I love to knit, paint, do pottery, make jewelry, and many more creative projects.
I have been a website designer and a graphic artist for the past 20 years. I've designed dozens of websites and I've designed hundreds - probably almost a thousand - graphics. I am the owner of several websites, including an e-commerce website, a jewelry information website, and a quote website.
I love working with kids. My greatest pleasure is seeing the joy that kids get when they are in their creative zone- where time flies and their creativity is unleashed - and they are excited and inspired.
I have had children in my classes who pay rapt attention for over an hour, who usually cannot sit still much longer than 20 minutes.
My classes are fun, interesting, and full of possibilities. About 2/3 of the class is spent teaching or demonstrating skills, and the rest of the time is spent on practice, where kids design a graphic on their own and ask questions.
In my science and history classes, the children will apply what is taught by creating storyboards with photos and facts of what we learned.
Using Canva to create graphic designs is a skill that your children will use for the rest of their lives. There is always a reason to create a graphic - whether it is for a report, an invitation, a poster, a brochure, social media, or creating a graphic for special occasions.
Your kids will LOVE the classes that I teach!
