Students will learn how to draw a balloon animal (rabbit) and apply oil pastels to make it look realistic. Students will practice the element of value through hand blending their oil pastels for a smooth transition between colors. Class will begin with a short discussion on artist: Jeff Koons who has created countless Giant Balloon Dog sculptures around the world! Students will learn through a guided-demonstration, where they will observe the teacher then complete the step(s) on their own papers. Students will discover how to create highlights and shadows using oil pastels. Students may ask questions as needed. At the end of class, students are encouraged to share their artwork with the class. *No prior knowledge is required.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to manipulate oil pastels to create values and highlights with their hands.

Hello parents and students!
I love to use a variety of media to keep the creating process fun and exciting. Some of the media we will use are: pencils, markers, crayons, colored pencils, oil and chalk pastels, acrylic paint, watercolors, pen, and more!
I graduated in 2014 from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a BSED in Art Education and a Dance Minor in Choreography. I have experience teaching every grade level from Pre-K through 12th grade in both Kansas and Texas. Some of the courses I have taught are: Elementary Art, Drawing and Painting, Sculpture and Ceramics, and also Intro to Art. This is my 8th year teaching art in a public school setting.
Scaffolding the necessary skills for learning art such as problem-solving, collaborating, and self-reflecting are woven intricately into my teaching. When producing my own artwork, I often find inspiration in flowers/nature.
I also have two large Newfoundland dogs (Bruin & Orso) and love to take them for walks when I am not busy teaching. You might even see them say "Hello!" during a class or two! I look forward to seeing you in my classroom!
