Who is this class for? 
- Learners who enjoy creating art and want to have a solid art foundation. This is not for the learners that want to create crafts.
- Learners that are learning Spanish and want to practice holding conversations 
- Learners wanting to practice Spanish in a calm and creative environment
- Parents and guardians that want to customize their learners arts and language class. This class will be based largely on the goals and needs that learners have. 

Any required experience or knowledge learners need?
Learners don't need to have any art background for this class, if they have zero art background the only requirement is that they have an interest in learning about art techniques and mediums, not only in a playful manner but in an educational way as well. 
Learners do need to be able to understand some level of Spanish, basic vocabulary and trouble conjugating is fine. We won't go deeply into rules about the language but I will correct learners and we may revise conjugation and vocabulary if needed. Again the goal is for them to hear a fluent Spanish speaker and for them to have the opportunity to practice speaking (making mistakes is part of the process). 

My background: I speak Spanish and English. I love creating and teaching art classes to learners of all ages! 
I speak Spanish from Mexico. Since English is my second language I understand the process of learning another language. I don't expect students to know everything and together we will practice Spanish!

How is your class structured?
I love all things creative and so I have experience working with watercolor, acrylic, gouache, and mixed media! Since I have a passion for all things creative learners will have the ability to request classes based on different topics. I do want your learner to have an understand of specific techniques so some class time will be dedicated to learning these. For example if they want to practice watercolor I will teach them various watercolor techniques that they can use to paint and then we will do a project or projects based on these. 

The first meeting we have we will go over learners Spanish level and what their goals are. We will also look what art mediums they want to use. If learners want a certain number of classes only focused on one medium then that will start the structure of class, if they don't have a preference then I will choose what topics to cover. 

Topics to cover will be based on what supplies learners have, their own interests, and artistic level.  Instruction will be done in Spanish and English will be used to at times to provide explanation or context. 

Example art topics for learners ages 3-7:
-Learning colors, shapes, ABC's in acrylic
-painting animals at the zoo 
-Painting desert items

Example art topics for learners ages 8-10:
-Learning colors, shapes, ABC's using watercolor 
-Understanding color and color mixing using acrylic paint

Example art topics for learners ages 11+
- Exploring artistic style 
- Painting still life objects 
- Portfolio building

All classes will be conducted in Spanish (at times I may speak in English to make sure the learner understands what I said or vice versa) . There will be times where we will focus more on Spanish rather than the art and others where we make more art rather than focusing on speaking perfect Spanish.

How will you teach?
Each class I will teach some art techniques if needed and then we will do a project. If the learner doesn't need the art techniques then will focus on the art project only. 

I will do  art demonstrations that learners can follow. They will be able to see through my overhead camera. I never want students to copy me directly so their own style will always be welcomed. There maybe a few topics such as learning about color mixing where copying exactly what I am doing is necessary however. 

I believe that students should be active participants in their learning, that's the reason our first class will take into consideration their topics of interest, art mediums, and level of language. This is also a 1:1 class, which means I am able to provide a deeper level of attention to the learner and they can help personalize the class to their needs!
