Class Experience

In this 8 lesson long course, we will create a new illusion each lesson! Videos and slideshows demonstrating projects with any printable worksheets students may need.  Students can personalize their art and make creative choices.  I will show students several examples to help with the brainstorming process!  No prior knowledge is needed.  Students have the choice of media-markers, watercolor or color pencil will all work for these artworks.  I will be using pencil, marker & color pencil in my demonstrations.

I have taught high school art for 18 years! Last year I had the opportunity to teach middle school students remotely and loved it! I have taught a variety of courses over my career such as: Fine Arts 1 & 2, Introduction to Photography, Pottery 1 & 2, Introduction to Jewelry, Introduction to Crafts, Introduction to Sculpture, Design 1 & 2.

I believe creating art is a process. It takes making a mess, mistakes and trying again!  Creating art is a method of communication with the world!

When I'm not creating art, I love cooking, reading, spending time with friends & family!
