Class Experience

This class will cover a variety of different lettering and font styles created with simply a pen and some highlighters. This is perfect for 
individuals who want to improve their penmanship, discover new styles of lettering, or make their school notes/journals look a bit more organized!  Students will be able to follow along with each style and practice writing some examples. We will also cover banners and text separators, which are perfect for keeping our pages organized and aesthetically pleasing! Students will only need a paper, a pen, and a coloured highlighter/marker. The class will be hands-on, so students are encouraged to come to class ready to go with their materials. They will be able to follow along with me, and since there's no formal lecture, students are encouraged to ask questions and talk about anything artsy related! No experience is necessary.

Learning Goals

Students will learn a variety of lettering styles that can be completed with just a pen and a highlighter.

Hi there! My name is Kelsi—I'm happy you stumbled upon my classroom! 

In my classroom, I like to turn the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none" on its head. No matter your skill level or age, there's no better way to satisfy your creative or intellectual itch than by trying new things. Here you'll find a hodgepodge of classes to satisfy any learner; from the most studious, to the most creative. Calligraphy and card making, primatology, photography, ancient ruins, evolution, books, and film are some of my dearest passions that I hope to share with you!

I have been teaching for 1 year as a community dance, art, and sports instructor, and as an online ESL teacher since September 2020. I graduated from Simon Fraser University with an honours degree in archaeology, a minor in biology, and a certificate in biological anthropology. I've always been happiest when I can pursue academic interests plus a creative outlet, so I like to cater to both avenues. 

I strongly believe that exploring different interests should be accessible and fun, without the stressful commitment of visiting a stuffy classroom every week. My hope is to provide a relaxed, upbeat environment where children feel empowered to pursue their interests and grow them into lifelong passions. I love learning and my goal is to help others fall in love with learning, too! 

If you have any questions or would like more information about any of my classes, please feel free to reach out. I can't wait to meet your learner!
