Class Experience

These personalized sessions will guide young artists in mastering essential techniques while developing their unique artistic voice. Students can help shape the subject matter of their projects, and cat lovers can even explore themes inspired by the *Cats in Art History* class for fun and creative inspiration.  

What Topics Will You Cover?
- Basics of drawing with the option to explore mixed media painting  
- Techniques and styles for drawing people, objects, and landscapes  
- Elements of Art & Principles of Design integrated into projects  
- Introduction to mixed media and how it enhances artwork  
- Art terms, diction, and foundational vocabulary  
- Illustration and drawing techniques  

How Is Your Class Structured?
Sessions are held weekly via Zoom, offering a mix of personalized instruction, hands-on activities, and constructive feedback. Optional independent assignments will encourage additional practice between sessions.  

How Will You Teach?
I use live demonstrations, step-by-step guidance, and engaging activities tailored to your child’s interests. For students who loved *Cats in Art History*, we can incorporate elements of historical art while applying modern techniques.  

What’s Your Teaching Style?
My approach is interactive, nurturing, and student-driven. I aim to provide a supportive environment where young artists feel encouraged to experiment and explore their personal style.  

How Much Will Learners Get to Interact with You?
Students will interact directly with me during sessions through discussions, guided exercises, and feedback. They can also share their work, ask questions, and receive personalized responses through private communication.  

I’m excited to help your child grow as an artist and explore creative connections to art history and beyond. Let’s create something amazing together!  

Best regards,  
Mrs. C
