Class Experience

Each day students will look cats created by well known artists throughout art history. Students will spend a few minutes getting to know the artist and looking at samples of their work, engaging with one another as they observe and respond to the artwork. Students will then have the opportunity to create a cat through a live, teacher led drawing tutorial that is inspired in some way by the focus cat and artist. At the end of each class students will have an opportunity to show and share their art and will be given ideas for continuing to work on their piece after class. 

Please note, each 3 class section will focus on new artists and cats.

    Teacher expertise and credentials
    Virginia Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
    Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University
    Hi there! 
    I teach visual arts and visual arts related classes for kids, pre-teens, teens, those with physical & intellectual differences, healthy adults, those dealing with healthcare challenges and those with memory care needs. Here on Outschool I teach ongoing, one time, 8week and multiway visual arts classes. Private individual and private small group lessons are available by request.  
    
    An alumni of Virginia Commonwealth University's BFA program in art education and am a VA state certified k-12 arts educator. In addition, I'm a proud University of Florida Gator with a MA in Arts in Medicine. Since 2015 I've owned a mobile art studio teaching to homeschoolers, social and support groups and adults facing healthcare challenges in the Richmond, Virginia area. I have experience working with children and adults facing health challenges, even providing classes to children during hospital stays via Zoom and Outschool.
    
    I believe the arts are a universal language and that when we engage in creative practices, we help make the world a healthier, kinder and happier place. Practices in the arts build self esteem, confidence, relieve stress, and directly impact the health of our communities by creating collaborative, creative and confident thinkers. With those beliefs in mind, I design and teach visual arts classes that are empowering and engaging for all abilities levels and types of learners. I use a cross curricular approach to teaching often incorporating just enough art history, geography, literacy, science and math to help students make connections to other subject learning through art.  
    
    Some fun facts about me:
    I'm a homeschooling Mom of 3 young men, 2 who are working full time and a junior in high school. I'm a 2nd degree black belt and assistant instructor, a hobby photographer and artist. I love to travel, cook, visit museums, kayak and hike. I grew up in central Pennsylvania but have resided in Richmond Virginia area for over 3 decades.
