This class is taught by an Miss Barbara, a experienced classroom teacher, a historian (currently pursuing her PhD in Pirates!), AND an experienced illustrator with one children's book already published and another on the way! Each class will consist of introductions and icebreakers, an informative Disney Princess lesson, stories, and step-by-step instructions on how to draw them. Below is the weekly schedule, subject to change. (Please note that classes are often adjusted to cater to the needs and interests of enrolled learners, so feel free to message us for any updates or clarifications): Week 1: Snow White (1937) Week 2: Cinderella (1950) Week 3: Sleeping Beauty (1959) Week 4: Little Mermaid (1989) Week 5: Beauty and the Beast (1991) Week 6: Aladdin (1992) Week 7: Mulan (1998) Week 8: Princess and the Frog (2009) Week 9: Tangled (2010) Week 10: Brave (2012) Week 11: Frozen (2013) Supplies: just paper, pencil, and coloring utensils SYDNEY BARBARA, Artistic Academic Extraordinaire: Sydney Barbara is an academic, a historian, a passionate artist, and published children’s book author. She’s also a pirate expert. Yes, that’s right! She already has her Master’s Degree in History, and is currently pursuing her PhD in History and writing her dissertation on the History of Piracy! Arghhh! She loves studying and teaching the Humanities because she knows it is the ultimate learning tool for our present. You can find any answer to a present day problem just by looking throughout history. Her art practice involves mixed media, painting, and illustration. Her classes are fun and relaxed and full of fascinating new facts and experiences. In her spare time, you’ll find her making music, painting furniture, working on her next book, or caring for her little white bundle of puppy joy, Lady.
