In this workshop, we will create a charming colorful sunflower painting. The teacher will demonstrate how to complete this project step-by-step in class and troubleshoot issues as they arise. Minimal art experience is necessary. If you can properly hold a paintbrush, then you are ready for this class :) We will learn about proper care of our art supplies, basic brush strokes, and how to mix and blend colors. Students will need: An art space that is allowed to get messy! Water, paper towels, and a "palette" for paint (tin foil, wax paper, or a paper plate works well) Canvas or heavy duty art paper (11x14 is recommended, but any size is ok) 3 paint brushes: 1 wide, 1 medium, 1 small for detail work Acrylic paint (Craft paint is fine. It can be found at Michael's for $.70) White Black Students may use whatever color scheme they like for their flower. I used pinks and purples. *All class times are approximate. Class length varies based on student ability and number of enrolled learners. Classes are designed so that they will not run longer than the time allotted.* *Late/Missed Class Policy* All courses will begin on time as long as one learner is in the classroom. In the event that no students are in the classroom at the assigned class time, the teacher will leave a message on the discussion board and exit after 10 min. Class recordings are available upon request.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Bowling Green State University
Hello everyone! My name is Sarah and I am a formerly licensed Language Arts teacher based in Ohio who has completed graduate level work in reading intervention. I received my degree from Bowling Green State University with a major in Liberal Studies - focus on English. I am also the mother of three lovely kids who keep me on my toes! I taught for several years in the public school system, but left because I longed for the flexibility and fluidity of true learning. I believe that children should be allowed to express themselves openly while they learn and I love nothing more than an active conversation with my students!
My family is "educationally eclectic." My two older children have attended private and public schools, while my youngest are currently educated at home with me. I appreciate the value and necessity of a myriad of educational approaches and teaching styles.
I teach all areas of Language Arts (Reading, Writing, Speech, Journalism, and Theater) in addition to courses in the Visual Arts. I also have several years of experience working with neurodiverse learners, focusing on access to education. I look forward to meeting all of you very soon!
I am currently unable to respond directly to schedule requests due to the sheer number of them and the finite number of hours in a day. However, I do look at requests when working on my schedule and I try to accommodate as many of them as possible.
