With just a few tubes of paint, a canvas, and a palette knife, your art enthusiast can begin one of the most exciting and freeing art styles, creating impressionistic, beautiful paintings. Each class, students will watch as I paint and explain the techniques I'm using. Technique by technique, students will follow my lead, while adding their own flair, to create original works of art. Subjects will include landscapes, florals, still life, and simple wildlife paintings. At the end of each class, students will share their work and their experiences with one another. Week of Sep 11th: Lighthouse and storm clouds Week of Sep 18th: Forest at sunset Week of Sep 25th: Flowering vines in a rainforest Week of October 2nd: Snowy Mountains Future weeks will follow similar subject patterns. Through this class, students will gain artistic experience and learn not only the techniques of painting with a palette knife, but will also exercise some of the basic compositional and color skills of art. Also, very importantly, they'll have a lot of fun!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! Thanks for coming to my profile.
Things I love to teach: science, particularly life-sciences, natural history, and evolution; and art, ranging from simple drawings for beginning artists to advanced oil-painting techniques for advanced learners.
Personally, I'm also just a huge fan of science, and I love learning about it, talking about it, and teaching it, particularly focusing on life sciences. As an undergrad at Penn State University, I took as many science classes as I could, dealing with biology, anthropology, psychology, and sociology, and I graduated with high honors with a social-science degree. (Then I got a JD (law degree) from University of Florida.)
When teaching science, I like to use stories, analogies, and graphics to make complex scientific concepts come alive for students. Also, I encourage students to use critical thinking and creativity to work out answers to questions. I believe that not only helps students to understand more difficult topics, but also helps them to retain the information longer.
I was once certified to teach middle school science, high school biology, and middle school social science in Florida, USA, though I never used those certifications in a classroom.
Regarding art, I've been a part-time, professional artist for almost 20 years. I began watercolor painting at the age of 4, switched to oil painting at 9, and have been at it ever since. My art hangs in homes (and some businesses) around the country and on three continents. My typical subjects are landscapes, wildlife, and figures, often covering subjects like predator-prey relationships of natural history and human cultural developments.
Having been home-schooled myself when I was a child, I'm a real fan of that educational style (I plan to home school my daughter), and I'm excited to help other home-schooling parents and their kids to learn.
Have an art, science, or science-art request or idea? I'd love to hear it!
