"Art and Social Club - Process over Product" is an ongoing class that allows students to express their creativity while socializing with like-minded peers. Instead of focusing on a finished product, this class encourages students to focus on the process of creating art, treating art as a journey rather than a destination. Weekly art prompts will help jumpstart our creativity, and for students who wish to hone their skills and personal style, I am available throughout the week for individualized guidance. Enrolled learners can ask me for help or share their work with me at any time during the live meeting, or throughout the week via direct messaging or posting in the classroom.

Weekly prompts will be posted each Monday and may be influenced by the interests of the students in attendance. Students may interpret the prompt in any way they wish, and may use any art media to create their vision. This includes (but is not limited to) pencils, markers, crayons, paint, and digital apps. There will be no grades or assessments, but students are welcome to request feedback or share their creations if they wish to.

Please note: this is a social club and not an instruction-based class. If you prefer an instruction-based class, please refer to my list of available classes for alternative options.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Greetings! I'm Lydia Holloway, a professional graphic designer, illustrator, writer, and educator. You can call me "Miss Lydia" and my pronouns are she/her!

I've been crafting, drawing, crocheting, sewing, and basically learning as much as I can about as many things as I can for as long as I can remember. As passionate as I am about creative pursuits, I am even more excited to share what I have learned with others. I have been teaching on OutSchool since 2020, and  have taught enrichment activities to K-6th (USA) students since 2011. Prior to that, I was a private tutor, teaching arts and crafts out of my home.

I cover a wide range of subjects and have extremely diverse interests, but I have one simple, fundamental belief behind my myriad pursuits: I want to learn how to make, grow, and produce as many things for myself as I can. And I want to share that knowledge with others!

I was born and raised in Kansas, the daughter of two educators, one teaching junior high science and the other teaching art and elementary English. Although I initially pursued a career in graphic design, the call to teaching was too strong to resist. In 2011, I fell into what would end up being my dream job: assisting with the local after-school program. I remained with the program for a decade, teaching arts, crafts, science, and more to a diverse group of in-person learners.

I believe the greatest gift we can give the next generation is the ability to create, not just in the practical sense, but in the sense of overcoming mental and emotional hurdles that would otherwise stifle us. I teach my students to create freely, for the joy of it, as well as giving them the practical skills they need to accomplish their goals. We are empowered by knowing how to create things for ourselves, and we are enriched by the freedom to create without self-consciousness. Art is neither good nor bad: it simply is, and by creating it, we are allowed to "just be" as well.
