Class Experience

In this ongoing class, I will teach art at a beginner level (elementary age). This art class is perfect for young artists who want to learn the basics, like simple drawing, basic form, shape, creative thinking and basic storytelling. 

I always teach my classes on mute, but I encourage learners to unmute if they need help or have questions. When I teach, I lead by example. This means that I will draw, paint, and create alongside students. I demonstrate the steps and concepts of each class at an appropriate pace for beginner artists.

Every week we will focus on something different. Here is a breakdown of what we will be learning every week.

Week of June 4: Simple shading (highlight and shadow)
Week of June 11: Cartoon prehistoric scene (pencil, pen, eraser, paper)
