Class Experience

The perfect flexible class for busy schedules, this elementary art class focusing on lines includes the following: 

1. An introductory video all about various types of types of lines and how they are used in art 

2. 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. Full teacher support and feedback on EVERY art project (and any questions) for two weeks, plus 1 year of access to all content!

Profile
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.
