My goal is to have a creative, accepting, safe space where the student feels comfortable. This one-on-one class is available and welcoming and appropriate for ALL students--developmentally delayed, neurodivergent, dyslexic, ESL, etc. 

CREATING:
We will start class brainstorming possible characteristics of the characters the learner is about to create. 

They will choose a prompt such as:
Mythical Creatures
Characters in your neighborhood
Characters with animal characteristics
Hero and Villains

DRAWING:
Once the learner feels ready, they will have class time to draw the characters. Any level of art expertise is FINE! This is not an art class--this is a creating class! The student can make their drawings as simple or as elaborate as they choose and will have an opportunity to share the final product me. Ms. Jackson draws, too :-).

TELLING:
After we have created characters, the student and I will tell stories about the character. Depending on the student, we will create stories together or the student will simply tell the story on their own. If we have time to create more than one character, we will add each character to the original story.

ACTING:
Students will then have an opportunity to use voice and body to perform AS the character. They can add costume pieces or props if they'd like!

Note: Please bring paper and pencils, crayons, etc. of choice for drawing
