Class Experience
Welcome to Mrs. D's Art Room where it is always a good day when you are learning something new. Happy Groundhog Day! Don’t forget to express your appreciation to all the marmots in your life. Let’s learn to draw a cute groundhog, who is the guest of honor of this day! In this one-on-one class, we will use easy steps using basic shapes to draw a semi realistic drawing of a groundhog in his barrow and with his shadow. We will learn light and heavy pressure blending and layering and stippling techniques of oil pastels to color his fur. They can follow all the steps with me and will learn some interesting fun facts about the animal. I will use a dual-screen so that kids can see me drawing with them throughout the whole class. The young artist will be encouraged to make their artwork unique and complete their art independently if they are not finished in class. I pace our class based on the student’s abilities, so we will go slower or faster depending on how they are doing. No experience is needed for this class; learners will follow the directions I give. Hope to see you soon!
Learning Goals
Young artists will understand the use of oil pastels and learn rodents facial features.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello and Welcome Outschoolars! I’m Mrs.D. ! I appreciate you considering me to be a part of your young artist's art journey!
I teach various art classes that involve color theories, color wheels, and color schemes that work together to create human figures, landscaping, and canvas painting with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. I love to teach different styles and techniques of art using Art Theory.
I am an artist by profession. I have a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts. I have participated in many art exhibitions in my public art center and library and taught art, crafts, and card making in elementary schools and Girl Scouts as a volunteer. I love to share art with my community.
I have been teaching 1:1 art classes online and in person for the last 5 years to ages 4 to 14 years. I have instructed children online all around the world, and continue to teach local classes and workshops in my community. I am so happy to continue what I am doing on a bigger and better platform from the comfort of my home.
I like to teach Art Theory in most of my projects so kids will learn multiple things without even realizing it. I believe all students can learn, and art is the best way to express yourself and your feelings in your unique way.
Art helps to improve hand and eye coordination. It also helps to grow your concentration and patience. Sometimes young minds can't express themselves through talking, but through drawing. I love connecting with students through art and helping them grow, laugh, and have some fun!
Class Expectation: Everyone works at different speeds. If the child is not finished with the piece by the end of class, they can finish the remaining picture at home and post it in the classroom.
Join me on this incredible adventure to take your child’s passion to the next level.
Thank you for visiting my profile! I’m looking forward to being a part of your child's art journey, growth, and success; can’t wait to see you in class!Reviews
