Let’s get those creative juices flowing and learn how to bring simple shapes to life! So many things around us are made from circles. In this class we will first draw a circle and then turn it into a different African animal. Every Monday I will post a video to the classroom and I will walk you through the process step-by-step so you can follow along. I will go slowly with a close up view of my drawing and provide some time for learners to follow along but you can also pause the video at any point if you need to and work at your own pace. This class is great for younger kids who have an interest in art, learning how to draw or just enjoy drawing for fun. I also encourage learners to post a picture of their completed drawings so I can see how they are doing and provide encouraging comments. *There are no live meetings for this class. Schedule: Week 1: Elephant Week 2: Camel Week 3: Ostrich Week 4: Lion ⭐ Students will need a piece of paper, a stencil that is a circle approximately 3 inches in diameter (any object that can be traced will work, I usually use a cup), a pencil and coloring utensils.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold a bachelor’s degree in special education, along with additional training in teaching the arts and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). With over 20 years of experience working with children, I’ve been a certified teacher, a homeschool mom, and an educator for diverse age groups and subjects. My teaching background spans from severe-profound special education preschool to honors high school, but my greatest passion lies in the arts and creative education. I specialize in drawing, brick building, elementary literacy, special education, and baking—I even own a small bakery!
Art has always been close to my heart, and I love exploring various mediums, including drawing, paper crafts, oil paints, and acrylics. Art is not just a form of expression but also a way to build creativity and confidence. In my teaching, I focus on developing skills, exploring techniques, and inspiring others to find joy in creating unique works of art.
Reading and writing are equally important to me. I enjoy delving into different genres and using storytelling to spark imagination. Teaching literacy allows me to help students express themselves while building essential skills. My goal is to make reading exciting and writing an empowering form of creativity.
Baking is another passion I’m thrilled to share. Teaching baking classes allows me to bring people together through the joy of creating something delicious. From learning essential techniques to exploring creative recipes, I strive to make every class approachable, fun, and rewarding.
Outside the classroom, my husband and I enjoy adventures with our three children, whether camping, hiking, visiting the park, doing arts and crafts, or playing board games as a family.
I can’t wait to bring creativity and joy to our class—see you soon!Reviews
