In this watercolor class we'll create a new project each week around the theme of winter. We'll use several different techniques to add visual interest and deepen our learning about how to create with watercolor paint. Each week students will be shown a final piece created by the teacher at the beginning of class and guided through the steps. Students who have experience with watercolors may choose to work at their own pace while others with less experience may choose to follow along, but everyone is encouraged to use their artistic license to make their artwork uniquely theirs. Students will use techniques that include masking, glazing, texture building and so much more! Week 1: Cozy Interior Week 2: Bundle Up! Week 3: Northern Lights Week 4: Winter Wonderland Each week, at the end of class, students will have opportunity to share their work with others.

Hi there!
I teach visual arts and visual arts related classes for kids, pre-teens, teens, those with physical & intellectual differences, healthy adults, those dealing with healthcare challenges and those with memory care needs. Here on Outschool I teach ongoing, one time, 8week and multiway visual arts classes. Private individual and private small group lessons are available by request.
An alumni of Virginia Commonwealth University's BFA program in art education and am a VA state certified k-12 arts educator. In addition, I'm a proud University of Florida Gator with a MA in Arts in Medicine. Since 2015 I've owned a mobile art studio teaching to homeschoolers, social and support groups and adults facing healthcare challenges in the Richmond, Virginia area. I have experience working with children and adults facing health challenges, even providing classes to children during hospital stays via Zoom and Outschool.
I believe the arts are a universal language and that when we engage in creative practices, we help make the world a healthier, kinder and happier place. Practices in the arts build self esteem, confidence, relieve stress, and directly impact the health of our communities by creating collaborative, creative and confident thinkers. With those beliefs in mind, I design and teach visual arts classes that are empowering and engaging for all abilities levels and types of learners. I use a cross curricular approach to teaching often incorporating just enough art history, geography, literacy, science and math to help students make connections to other subject learning through art.
Some fun facts about me:
I'm a homeschooling Mom of 3 young men, 2 who are working full time and a junior in high school. I'm a 2nd degree black belt and assistant instructor, a hobby photographer and artist. I love to travel, cook, visit museums, kayak and hike. I grew up in central Pennsylvania but have resided in Richmond Virginia area for over 3 decades.
