If you are a parent...think back to your elementary school days. Close your eyes. Remember that magical place called art class? Remember how you were introduced to various art mediums whether it was finger painting, water colors, pencil drawings of animals or portraits? How about watercolor, charcoal, pastel colors, and acrylic painting? I'm right there with you. Fond memories. Probably my best memories. In my Art Class 101, my hope is to bring the magic alive again through introducing learners to a variety of art and artists. Exploring every bit we possibly can through painting, drawing, colored pencils, pasting, cutting and of course the most important....our imaginations. Here we will bring creativity to our masterpieces while touching on a few of the artist's histories where applicable. We all know the importance of art and how it correlates to developing our minds and behaviors. Class 1: Painting with acrylics (and a pencil eraser!) Class 2: Drawing and shading trees with colored pencils (may have to work on art outside of class time) Class 3: Abstract art with patterns and pens (may have to work on art outside of class time) Class 4: Watercolors

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have homeschooled for the past 18+ years (It's been so long I'm losing count). My husband and I have 5 children: 3 self sufficient adults now), 1 College and 1 in High School!
My teaching background has been primarily based on teaching my own children K-12. It is where I found a passion for learning! I have one child with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. I had to learn how to teach to each child differently based on their learning styles and needs through workshops, books and classes.
Outside of educating in the home, my background is quite diverse. My writing has been published for feature articles in magazines, business writing, and resume writing. I have a strong professional background in sales and marketing and staff recruiting.
I consider myself a lifetime learner and always will. My hobbies include history, true crime (yes, I try to solve each and every one, haha) crocheting, quilting, cooking, art (pen & ink and charcoal), photography, homemaking. What do I love to teach? Things I am good at of course!
I try to bring hands on learning to most everything I do. To me, it's more enjoyable and leaves a lasting impression on your mind!
When not home schooling and teaching on Outschool, you will likely find me hiking with our boys, or quite possibly at a football game, baseball game, basketball game...you get the picture, basically on a field of some sort!
