This fun art camp is perfect for young artists who are enthusiastic about animals and love drawing and painting. We will learn lots of art techniques while also discussing animals in their natural environment. Learners will be encouraged to be social and interactive during this camp style class. The art topics I will cover are drawing and painting skills, using pencil, watercolor, and markers. We will discuss color, composition, shapes, overlapping, perspective, composition, and design. Each artwork will be unique, playful, and fun! In addition to art topics, we will also learn about animals in their natural environment. Our 1 week schedule will be as follows: Monday: Flamingo at sunset Tuesday: Llama in the mountains Wednesday: Tiger in the jungle Thursday: Sea turtle in the ocean Friday: Dolphins jumping over the sea Class will be structured so that learners can interact with each other and have fun, all while creating a new unique artwork. At the beginning of each class, we will look at original artwork in a slide format. Then, I will guide student's artwork by creating my own piece along with students and talking about each step. Along the way, we will talk about the art techniques being used. Towards the end of each class, we will have a discussion and share artwork with each other, while talking about the project. My teaching style is relaxed and easy going. Each student will be allowed to be as creative and free as they would like. I encourage lots of discussion about the art process and include a positive, encouraging critique. Some previous art experience and enthusiasm for animals and art is expected.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Art and Design from The College of New Jersey
Hello! I am an Art Educator and Artist. I love teaching art to all ages, especially elementary school and middle school. My art classes include watercolor painting, acrylic painting, drawing, elementary art projects that work on skill building, and learning about art history through fun projects about artists - including Non-Western and Women artists.
I teach art from my heart and aim to build self esteem in my students through the arts. I challenge students to find their inner artist through creativity and self expression. I believe in the process of art, individual expression, creative thinking, and problem solving. Each art project is designed to develop technical skills, artistic interpretation, and unique artwork. We have lots of fun while making artwork and socializing is encouraged during my art classes.
My art background began as a child. I loved to learn how to paint or draw anything and everything. After receiving a BFA in Graphic Design, I became a children's textile designer in the fashion industry in NYC. While in New York, I attended fine arts classes at the Art Student's League and The New School. I moved to New York State's Hudson Valley, and am inspired daily by the landscapes and nature around me. I also am inspired by my pet cats, who may visit the classroom once in a while.Reviews
