Although there is no formal homework, there are several opportunities each week for Artists to get creative, experiment and explore new ideas and new art media on their own time. I am excited to see what they do and hope they will share!Class Experience

Beginner Level
Artists and Families! I am so excited to share this great class with you! We will draw and paint new artwork using a variety of techniques, media, and a rainbow of colors! Often our projects are inspired by process art – a technique where the process of creating the art is just as important as the actual result. In each series, the class is divided into 9 themed sections with a keynote video lesson that is between 25-40 min, and 4 additional shorter activities that link to the theme. These may only take a few minutes but it is up to each artist if they want to take longer and add more details! Artists have a total of 45 LESSONS, including 9 FULL PROJECT VIDEOS! This can be completed all on your schedule, as you have access for a full year! In the keynote video for each lesson group (organized by “week”), I will lead Artists through the project and my overhead art cam will guide them so they can easily see each step. Of course, they can pause or stop the video as needed to work at their pace! I encourage Artists to modify or change anything in the project they feel will make it their own, including additions, embellishments or even changing colors. I want Artists to feel inspired by my ideas but make it their own. Not only will I reach out during the week to check in, but I will also look out for Artists to share their amazing masterpieces and comments throughout the class with each activity they complete so we can celebrate their hard work and what they have accomplished! When they share or comment, expect a lot of feedback and interaction, including a lot of praise for the wins and effort; for the courage to try new things; and for the willingness to explore and “step out of the box!" I will reply within 24 hours and I will check a few times a week- typically Tues, Thurs, and Sat. The more interaction the better in a self-paced class. It is important to recognize each Artist for their effort and for them to feel seen and heard in their creative work and encouraged to try more! I want Artists to take their time and even repeat parts of the walk-through as they need to. This is a wonderful aspect of a self-paced class. Thank you so much for your interest. When your Artist is ready, let’s get started! Bravo!
Learning Goals
My goal is for artists to create beautiful and brilliant compositions using different media and fun techniques and to inspire them to try more on their own!

Hello! I'm a UCLA Bachelor of Arts graduate who loves experimenting with vibrant colors using markers, paints, pencils, papers, and pastels. My personal style leans towards abstraction, graphics, and impressionism, which often influences my own work. I thrive on the spontaneity of creative projects, especially when working with young learners who are open to new ideas and full of curiosity!Reviews
