Art and Affirmations is a 80 minute easy music and painting course. Mixing art, music, and words to live by. Perfect for the ending to a challenging week, or a fresh start to a new one! In this refreshing and rejuvenating instructor led class, students will listen to smooth jazz while painting an inspired piece of artwork, learn and discuss how important they are to the world and affirmations to live by! Learners will be able to see my face following the progress of my painting hand on Zoom or work ahead during the demonstration. I will have a piece of art to follow, but if the music moves them to create something different or "paint outside of the lines", that is perfectly ok. Art and Affirmations is an intro music/art class that introduces students to overcoming the fear of painting and learners can ask specific questions for their specific art experience. The music mixed with the creativity of painting makes this an easy and fun class to learn. With a quick witty teaching style, this class is sure to be a blast! Learners get to interact with myself and each other as we talk laugh and ask questions! No required experience or knowledge needed!
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understandings of culture through art and music.

Supply List
Supplies needed: *Acrylic Paint: Primary colors PLUS white and black. *2 paintbrushes (one larger for area coverage, one smaller for detail) *Canvas (cheap at Michaels, but dollar store canvas or white poster board cut in half will work too. Don't break the bank!) *2 Paper plates *Cup of water *Sharpened Pencil If the children don't have paint, they can draw! Colored pencils will work. They are creating their own pieces! Paint is just best and it's what I am using! I also encourage students to get notes about the musical genre on the back of their canvas, for reference. A pen or pencil would be needed

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love poetry, art, music and different expressions of the human cultural experience!!! In my spare time I paint a lot! A lot can be learned through the music and artistic expression of people around the world.
Teaching is my passion, and for the past 22 years, I have been lucky to do what I love. I teach 3 classes totaling about 90 teenagers daily. I run a Multi-Cultural Homeschooling Group of over 200 families where I teach children ages 8-12 a variety of subjects. I am also a full-time homeschooling mom to my amazing 11-year-old daughter.
I have a passion to share what I know! In my classes I provide extraordinary experiences through unique use of humor and video during lessons making learning fun in our relaxed classroom setting.
I am always excited to learn new things! The best investment you can make is the one you make in yourself! I work consistently to improve my skills, and continuing professional training is absolutely an integral part. Every year I take advanced instructor training courses to stay abreast of the current teaching methods and techniques available to prepare for fantastic individual learning opportunities. I pride myself on this.
