This class provides brand-new lessons, every single week, for TWO YEARS.  Therefore, a lesson taken on December 10, 2024 will not repeat until around December 10, 2026. Again, I will teach two years of brand-new material, in every single class.  Students are always welcome to repeat a lesson, which they have already taken.  In fact, I recommend this, as it could strengthen skills and build an art portfolio with clear comparisons of growth, over time.
.
During each class, I will introduce one or more basic principles or elements of art and design.  These include:  line, color, value, shape, form, space, texture, balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety.

We will practice and discuss the element or principle before using it to create a masterpiece.
If time allows, I often like to share images (while students color) from art history which relate to our project.

Students are not required to share, however, are always given time to show and share something about their artwork at the end of each class.  We will have an ART-tastic time discussing the qualities of each other's creations, finding the beauty in unique details.

*SCHEDULE CHANGES?* If your schedule changes: I am happy to transfer students into a different time if given 24-hour notice.

*ABSENT?*  Please request a recording of missed classes.  Typically, I am happy to send recordings and offer help/feedback to verified learners.  However, access to class recordings is not guaranteed.  All classes 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, I will exit after 10 minutes.  In addition, there are rare events where recordings must remain private to ensure learner safety.  Outschool's policy states that recordings are shared per teacher discretion.    No refunds will be given for missed classes
