~This class is for budding artists who know that art isn't about making an exact replica of the teacher's art piece.  
~Due to the variety of skill sets in the class, I try to pace the class to meet all students' needs, but this isn't always possible. 

I have a teaching credential in Art and a Masters in Education. I have taught elementary art for over 20 years and each of my lessons is developed thoughtfully and practiced ahead of time keeping in mind student skill level and interests.  I am passionate about helping young artists find their unique artistic voices, and therefore I balance guided drawing with creative expression in this lesson.  I aim to provide positive encouragement to students throughout our class time, and truly hope they enjoy our art club projects each week!
