Beginner Level
This is an introductory class to help parents and students become familiar with Outschool before deciding on a weekly commitment. It also provides the opportunity for students to get to know me and decide if they would like to continue with further instruction. If they choose to do so, a weekly class of longer duration will be arranged. This class will help beginners learn how to combine basic shapes to create a Squishmallow character. I will screen share the options. After completing their drawing, students can decide if they would like to outline using a black marker, and color using crayons, markers or colored pencils. The class size is a maximum of 4. I teach sequentially, so I do not proceed to the next step until the previous one is completed by each student. Thus, patience is required, since the pace at which they work will vary. I visit with each student individually, guiding and evaluating their drawing according to their skill level. My drawing is visible the entire time using an overhead camera. Neurodiverse students are welcome! I am fully aware of the positive emotional effects the creative arts have on the cognitive and behaviorally challenged. I ensure that the nature of the class accommodates the specific needs of all students.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to create a simple character by connecting basic shapes of varying sizes.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a lifelong, self- taught artist, beginning at a very young age. I received 3 years of advanced art instruction in secondary school. My experience includes selling my work in an art gallery which I owned and operated. I continue to be privately commissioned and give pieces as gifts. Prior to retiring from working in special education, I applied my skills in the form of art therapy for behaviorally challenged children in the classroom setting.
