In this ongoing class, students will get a chance to be social and talk about some of their favorite things: cats and drawing! We can talk about and draw cats from anywhere: favorite tv shows, your own pet cats, cat books, or your imagination! Each week, we will draw cats in a new way or in new poses. ***Updated Schedule: Week of November 18th: Yummy Fall Dessert Cats Week of November 25th: “Thanks a Latte” Cat Coffee Week of December 5th: Royal King and Queen Cats Week of December 12th: Cozy Cats by a Fireplace Week of December 19th: Winter Cat in a Scarf December 23rd Only: Winter Holiday Special December 30th Only: New Years Eve Cat Celebration!

No Classes week of May 26th - Memorial Day (USA holiday) Summer themes TBD My class will be structured to have lots of time to socialize with me and with other learners. I will present some facts about cats and also share art about cats, either art that I've created, or art from famous artists. Then we will take out our drawing supplies. We can chat while we draw. Also, I have pet cats that may visit our Zoom classroom! Students may also bring their own cats to class. Towards the end of class, students will be given the option to share their art with everyone in class, and talk about what they have drawn. My teaching style is enthusiastic, yet relaxed. I will guide the conversation so that everyone can have a turn, and keep the conversation on topic: cats and art. In this club style class, there won't be any "right" or "wrong" way draw our cats. All levels of ability are welcome! I can give guidance to the drawing process as desired. No previous experience is needed.

Students will get a chance to socialize with others in a supportive environment. Students can work on their drawing skills, practice, and gain confidence in their artistic ability.

Hello! I am an Art Educator and Artist. I love teaching art to all ages, especially elementary school and middle school. My art classes include watercolor painting, acrylic painting, drawing, elementary art projects that work on skill building, and learning about art history through fun projects about artists - including Non-Western and Women artists.
I teach art from my heart and aim to build self esteem in my students through the arts. I challenge students to find their inner artist through creativity and self expression. I believe in the process of art, individual expression, creative thinking, and problem solving. Each art project is designed to develop technical skills, artistic interpretation, and unique artwork. We have lots of fun while making artwork and socializing is encouraged during my art classes.
My art background began as a child. I loved to learn how to paint or draw anything and everything. After receiving a BFA in Graphic Design, I became a children's textile designer in the fashion industry in NYC. While in New York, I attended fine arts classes at the Art Student's League and The New School. I moved to New York State's Hudson Valley, and am inspired daily by the landscapes and nature around me. I also am inspired by my pet cats, who may visit the classroom once in a while.
