1-2 hours per week. To get the full class experience, students are encouraged to watch the introductory video and complete all four art assignments. I will provide prompt feedback if and when students choose to send these projects to me, and will present opportunities, when applicable, to make some modifications and re-send them to me just as one would expect in a face-to-face class.Assessment

Continued learning in the form of separate step-by-step videos demonstrating fun art projects that illustrate different ways to use lines: a) A beautiful dandelion drawing using only basic lines; b) A colorful and explosive firework drawing using only one short line, repeated in circles and various colors; c) A trace-your-hand project with a beautiful background of simple swirls, demonstrating how to create contrast using only simple lines; d) An artist-inspired free-expression art project in the style of famous artists Paul Klee and Pablo Picasso, showing students how curvy lines and a little imagination can create amazing things! 3.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been an Outschool and homeschool co-op art teacher for many years, focusing especially on famous artists and their ingenious uses of the various elements of art in their masterpieces. I love to adapt this teaching focus to younger students in introductory courses that explore just the basic elements of art, often with a final project focusing on imitating a professional artists' use of the particular element of art we are studying.
