Each week, your young learner will explore a new artist! We will learn about the artist’s life and country of origin, and explore what typical pieces of their artwork look like. Then, each learner will be guided to create their own artwork inspired by the artist! Some artwork may need to be completed outside of class time. Supplies needed will be posted in the classroom one week prior to class, and most are common art supplies and household items.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a variety of classes to offer including kindergarten and first grade reading/ phonics skills, story read alouds and discussions, and how to care for guinea pigs!
I have taught almost all ages of children for many years, from infant through sixth grade, as well as been an early intervention (birth to three) parent educator and online ESL teacher. I homeschooled my twin boys for the year before they entered kindergarten and it was a most wonderful time in my life that I would love to share with other families and children!
I have been married to my high school sweetheart for twenty years. We have a musically and artistically talented seventeen year old daughter and smart and funny identical twin twelve year old boys.
I am so very happy to be a part of the Outschool world and look forward to seeing your awesome learners in my classroom!Reviews
