Positive feedback goes such a long way with young artists’. After class, I encourage all learners to post a picture in our classroom of their final work of art! This gives all of the classmates and myself the opportunity to comment on each piece in hopes to connect and build a deeper sense of community. I know these positive interactions will help power them with more confidence into the next project they create!Class Experience
In this class learners will discover Robin Mead, a master of using black ink line drawings and watercolors to create the most beautiful art! She is incredible at creating a feeling of joy with color! First, learners will be taught to draw fun and whimsical flowers with lines, dots, and shapes that come together to create our wild flower bouquet. Next, I will guide learners in creating a balanced drawing emphasizing variety. (Principals of Design). Then, we will add in some color with ink! Learners will add in pops of color to accent each flower and design that they have created with waterproof markers. Our final touch will be flooding the wild flower bunch with watercolors! We will also add salt to create a wonderful texture for the background! *In my classes I love to dedicate the first few minutes to visiting as a class! If your learner is more comfortable using the chat box then that’s perfect too! We will use both! I like how this sets the tone for our time together, helping those that might be a little nervous or new to virtual learning. It helps create that supportive and welcoming space to create. I am so excited to see each learners' work of art come to life! ***If you do not see a time that fits your schedule, please request a time that could work for you and I can create a class for you!***

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! My name is Kristi! I am a homeschool teacher and an art teacher in Texas! I have 2 children that are in 11th & 7th grade this next year! I absolutely love being involved in my kids education!
I am the owner of Wolf Circus Art Studio and Evolve Volleyball Club. I teach art classes for Pre-K to 6th grade, host art parties, teach macrame, and make pottery. I have been teaching art lessons for over 10 years and I love connecting with children through art! I have experience teaching lessons in a private art studio setting as well as summer camps and online.
I also am the Art & Crafts Director for a non-profit called Salute the Kids. Salute the Kids is a charity that supports military children and families through camping adventures. I create and teach all of the arts and crafts projects and host a family art night at camp. Working with military children is such a gift.
I am so excited to be here on Outschool with the opportunity to teach, connect, and create some really cool art with your artist! I most certainly know I will learn and be inspired by them as well!
When I am not teaching you can find me hanging out with my family, making pottery, playing volleyball, taking care of my cacti, or trying to talk my husband into rescuing another Chihuahua. You can never have too many Chihuahuas ;) I have 5 now!
Hope to see you in class!!
