Class Experience
Get $5 off my classes with coupon code LACHAPH88J5 until Oct 31, 2023. Look through my classes at https://outschool.com/teachers/Amelia-G-La-Chance and enter the coupon code at checkout. (Please note that this class can also be offered as a 45 minute class for the reduced rate of $45 and can also be customized to meet every other week rather than every week.) In this private art course, I will be taking a close, analytical look at your learner's current portfolio to help them develop a successful and memorable portfolio for any application reviewer to take a look at. We will be going above and beyond to adjust pre-exhisting works so that the pieces are enaging, unique, and technically strong, while also filling in the gaps of the portfolio to fit what is commonly expected to be present in an art school application for middle school, high school, or even your learner's dream art university. In addition, I will teach the student how to photograph, label, and sort their artwork so that it is cohesive and ready to be viewed by their school. This class will begin by taking a look at the student's best exhisting artworks, discussing what schools are typically looking for, and developing a plan to move forward based on what they are needing. Applications can be stressful and overwhelming. So, I approach my teaching with a caring and excited attitude that will motivate your learner and prepare them not only for the application process, but will also prepare them for the instruction that will take place at their new school. Prior to this class, I recommend taking a close look at the schools that your learner is applying to in order to find out how many pieces are required for the application, when the application is due, and whether or not the school or program has specific needs that should be addressed within the portfolio. For example, some schools provide a prompt or prompts that the student is meant to pick from and create a piece based off of. This would be important to know so that we can work it into our plan.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Dear Families,
I have loved and cherished art for my entire life and my hope is that I may be able to ignite or strengthen this love for art within my students. I want to extend to you and your child my warmest welcome into my virtual classroom.
My philosophy for learning in the art room revolves around differentiating instruction for each student’s individual needs. Coming together into the classroom, we each bring with us our goals, desires, our histories, our struggles, and our joys. Art allows us to express these aspects about ourselves and I believe it is important to do so. Through each of our projects, I will work with every individual learner to adjust the parameters to their interests and skill set while challenging them to always push forward.
Through my virtual classroom, I will be teaching art classes in painting, drawing, and even some sculpture for all ages and for all creative minds! We will work with a wide variety of materials, techniques, and analytical thought processes in each of my classes.
Through my undergraduate career, I received a BFA in Studio Art with an emphasis in Sculpture and a BSE in K-12 Art Education, both in the spring of 2023. Beginning in the Fall of 2023, I will be pursuing a Master's in Fine Art in the highly ranked MFA program at Arizona State University. I have been teaching on Outschool since May of 2020 and have assisted artists in residence and students at the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center in Vermont during their summer 2022 stone carving workshops. I have created and sold a wide variety of artwork professionally, such as drawings, paintings, and sculptures, and have exhibited in a variety of art galleries. I am highly passionate about art and I strongly believe that when doing artwork, you are building a relationship with your materials and the creation itself. Throughout my time doing and practicing artwork, I have learned that art is a powerful force that can be meditative and help connect you with yourself and the values you carry.
With all this being said, I am happy to receive any comments, questions, or concerns through Outschool messaging. I look forward to working with your child and supporting them in every step of the process through their artistic endeavors!
Sincerely,
Amelia LaChanceReviews
