Class Experience

This class has a FOUR student maximum per section, so we can focus on technical learning and give quality time to students. 

This a technical drawing class with Architectural Design and focusing on the study of the grayscale in various graphite pencils.
I will go over what each pencil does and show they vary and help each other through the drawing stages. 

Day 1- Focus on the Drawing and show demos for gray scale for Day 2, Question and Answer time. 
Day 2 - We will then do the grayscale and blending the the various graphite pencils

Class is open for discussion and question and answers. Students may or may not show their work as they choose. 
All my art class are in a relaxed setting to have students feel comfortable and feel calm. Interaction is to each students comfortable level.

Experience- Students should really love drawing and enjoy being technical minded. This does take patience, especially with getting the drawing set to scale for dimension.

Learning Goals

For students understand the principles of grayscale to create dimension. Create a drawing they are proud of.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello Parents and Students!
I keep my classes small so students can get more attention at their pace and I feel this is something very important in education. 

My name is Mrs. Carrie and I'm all about ART, all in FUN LEARNING or TECHNICAL LEARNING.  Going to diverse art schools and taking side programs was the best thing I did,  because I can now share the passion with students. 

My education is diverse with a BFA in Graphic Design- Illustration Communications Arts and Photography Minor, finishing at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. After college, I worked for Ad Agencies, Printers, Galleries in Wisconsin. This all brought balance to what I can share and teach. 

I will be teaching: Drawing Skills, Acrylic, Watercolor Painting, Colored Pencils,  Color Theory and Art Mentoring via Private Classes. 

Art/Design is about breaking down drawing into shapes to help your child see the basic building process for creating their art. This is the key to any art at any age. 

I have 30 YRS of teaching experience for all ages including, public schools and community programs, business and mostly private teaching.  I work with Spectrum and Trauma students which is most rewarding. 

My goal in a classroom:  To break the "intimidation" of the arts. I sadly see fear in all ages with art,  and I stress there are NO RULES FOR ART and to HAVE FUN, learn the materials what they do and don't. Learn what you like about them and you don't. BUILD CONFIDENCE.  There is ALWAYS time later to get technical. But, first relax learn the the basic principles and create your art and your unique style.  Art is NOT to be cookie cutter. Seeing a child bloom and build confident in art class WILL overall build personal confidence in them.

I'm left handed with some dyslexia,  so I can laugh at myself and have fun in classrooms or settings. It really creates a bond with students to help make them feel comfortable and that they're not alone with learning disabilities.

I look forward to meeting you in class.
