Class Experience

Welcome to my painting class! Join me for a fun acrylic painting experience this holiday season! Students in this class will learn basic acrylic painting skills like using types of brushes, brush strokes, color mixing/blending, detail work, etc. This is a beginner to intermediate class. Students will be encouraged to stray as they wish to make any changes or adjustments to make their painting “theirs”. Class will be laid back and fun but also a rich learning environment! Make this class the perfect gift for a special learner in your life. Great for a one time filler activity for winter vacation!

Hello Outschool community!

I am April Taylor. I live with my amazing family in New York and I have been teaching visual arts on Outschool for 3+ years. I’ve been told I was “born to teach”. On Outschool, I teach art classes for children ages 8 and older. I I have classes in acrylic and watercolor painting, realistic drawing, and clay work. I hold a Bachelors degree in Art Education and a Masters degree in Professional Studies, where I focused on Humanistic and Multicultural Educational practices. I have 18+ years teaching experience in Prek-8 in virtual and in person settings. 

As a teacher, I like to keep class fun, upbeat, and flexible. During classes, I encourage balance, in terms of focus and discussion/communicating with myself and classmates. Interaction, open discussion about planning, and ideas/suggestions for their own or other's art is highly valuable, as is, quiet focus and concentration. In every class, I teach using a step by step approach to demonstrate how to do the skills and use the materials. I feel this provides a solid foundation for students to master skills and then put them to practice once they become more confident and independent. I also encourage creativity and encourage students to add or omit elements from their work that make it unique to them. I would much rather have 8 different drawings at the end, than exact replicas of mine! If a child wants to take their project in a different direction, I fully support and encourage them to do so!

When I am not painting and working with clay, I love being out in nature, spending time with my husband, two hockey loving boys, and our dog child. 

I look forward to meeting your child and helping them grow their love for art and learning. I hope to see your child in my classes soon!
