In this semester-long course, learners will cover topics covered in a Art 1 class in a school. We will learn about the Elements of Art while creating artwork. Subject matter of art projects will vary, and may change based on the interests of the learners in the class. The following format will be followed: [Week 1] - Lecture, Notes, Practice Activities [Week 2] - Project Work. *The color unit has significantly more information, so that unit will last for three weeks. *Learners will be expected to spend approximately one to two hours outside of class each week working on their art projects. *Guided notes will be provided for each unit, students may choose to print these out OR complete them digitally as the lecture occurs. iPad or tablet are great for this if available! ---------------------- Class Schedule: Weeks 1-2 - Line Weeks 3-4 - Shape Weeks 5-6 - Form Weeks 7-8 - Value Weeks 9-11 - Color Weeks 12-13 - Texture Weeks 14-15 - Space --------------------------- Required Materials: Mixed-Media Paper Pad, 9x12 Pencil, Eraser, Sharpener Ruler Scissors Black Sharpies - Fine & Ultra Fine Colored Pencil Set Marker Set Watercolor Set (Pan Preferred over tubes) Water Can Paper Towels Palette or Palette Paper Pad Basic Acrylic Paint Set (craft paint or small artist tube set) Basic Brush Set **These materials can be purchased at any art supply store.

Class length may vary due to student ability and class size. Classes are designed to be no 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 the classroom after 10 minutes. Class recordings are available upon request. ***Tardy Policy - Learners who have missed ten minutes or more of the class time should request a transfer. I will lock the meeting after ten minutes so that the students in class are not distracted by late students. Instruction is given step-by-step, so tardiness detracts from everyone's learning experience. I am happy to work with you to try to meet your scheduling needs and want each learner to have an optimal experience! ***I do not check or respond to messages while I am teaching classes. I will respond as soon as I can after class has ended. *Certificates of completion are available upon request.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from UNC Charlotte
Hello, my name is Cara!
I have been teaching art since 2003 in school and studio environments. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Art from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. My concentrations are in education and painting. I have experience teaching students as young as 3 up to adults. The majority of my in-school teaching experience was in grades 6-12. At my studio, I teach students weekly and also have classes for homeschool students, open studio, birthdays, graduations, and team-building. I love that online platforms allow teachers and students to connect across the world! What an amazing opportunity!
I love to create bright-colored abstract paintings, usually in acrylic or watercolor. I live with my husband and three dogs a short drive from my art studio! I look forward to meeting you!
