Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner - Advanced Level
This class is a fun and easy introduction to oil pastel (or chalk pastel) blending and texture backgrounds. I will show my finished artwork at the start of class as a reference. We will discuss all the art supplies needed to create this beautiful blue bird. I will give a step-by-step drawing lesson to sketch the bird while students create their work with me. Oil pastel techniques will be demonstrated to color, blend and texturize our painting. My classes are relaxed, encouraging, and creative with many options for the learners to personalize their artwork. Students may share their work at the end of class or in the Outschool classroom after they have added their finishing touches.
Note: Oil pastels are often called paintings when blending techniques are used to create a painterly appearance to the artwork. We will only be using oil pastel sticks not paint brushes.

Learning Goals

Oil pastel coloring, blending and texturizing techniques to create a beautiful oil pastel painting.
Chalk pastels can be substituted for oil pastels.

FOLLOW ME FOR NEW CLASSES! :)

Hello art friends! I'm Ms. Michelle. I'm offering directional and expressive art projects for young learners. I'm a professional artist with my education in Fine Art. I believe whole heartedly in the Montessori philosophy. I owned Montessori schools for years and I've taught art to thousands of preschool and elementary students in person and online.

Art has always been my happy place where I can be myself, share experiences, and enjoy friends. My art classes will help students practice fine motor skills, follow oral and visual instructions, improve art skills, and express themselves through creativity and social classes. 
I hope you will join me for fun art with friends or message me for a private class! I'm a full time Outschool Teacher so if you need another time for a class, please feel free to contact me. Thank you and I'll see you soon!

Schedule a class! Feel free to schedule any of my one time classes. There are over 300 choices! If you need assistance, please message me. I also teach several different weekly art medium classes! Check my schedule!

Some communications and policies for my classes:
*A special thank you to Outschool parents and learners who daily surprise me with their graciousness and support! 

*Please follow me and click the notifications icon to be alerted of new classes each week and important classroom messages. :)

*Copyright on all my art on Outschool and all my classes on Outschool. Thank you for your integrity!

*Missed ongoing classes (only) may be offered one opportunity to join another time that week as a make up class. (transfer) My schedule fills quickly so let me know before the scheduled class. There are no refunds for missed classes.

*Late to Class Policy - If you’re more than 10 minutes late, I reserve the right to not admit you into class. This is a significant interruption in the process of creation for other learners. If there’s another time for the class, I’ll offer a transfer. If there’s a schedule conflict, please msg me for a transfer before class. No refunds for late arrivals. I appreciate your consideration. 

*I do not release recordings of my classes. If there is a technical issue, I will try to reschedule the class with you. Technical issues are very rare due to Outschool's wonderful support team.
