Beginner Level

This is a fun, easy class for beginning artists! I will teach students how to draw simple lines and shapes to create a cute cartoon fox.
I will break down components of the drawing into small, easy steps.
Students will work at a slow, comfortable pace with lots of support and interaction with me as well as fellow students.
I will also show coloring and shading techniques that students can apply to their fox drawings.
No prior knowledge or experience necessary!
**PLEASE NOTE:** I occasionally run this class with fewer than 3 students. When that happens, it is very likely that we will finish before the official end time. Your child still gets the same high quality of content and instruction, but because there are fewer students who need my attention, class might run a little faster.

Learning Goals

Through the process of guided drawing, students will apply the elements of art (line, shape and color) to a guided drawing of a fox.
Students will learn how to break down what could be a complex drawing into small, simple steps that build on each other to develop a completed drawing.

Hello! I am a K-12 licensed art teacher. and professional artist. I teach all kinds of art, including drawing, painting, pottery, fibers, sculpture, art history and culture, and frequently integrate math, literacy and other subjects with my art lessons! I received my Bachelors of Fine Art and teaching credentials from Metropolitan State College of Denver and my M.Ed. from the University of Colorado-Boulder. I have actually taught all ages, from 5 to adult! It is my passion to give students a safe and supportive place to develop their skills and a sense of accomplishment through the creative process.  My teaching style is relaxed and nurturing, but sometimes I can't help but get really excited when I see a student make a connection or just simply feel successful! I also love to incorporate other content areas in my art classes whenever appropriate. Many of my lessons for younger kids are inspired by children's books. Projects for older kids might include history or culture. I also love to teach about famous artists of the past and present and bring their styles and processes into my art lessons.  

Though art education has always been a space for nurturing students' social-emotional well-being. I recently completed my SEL certification, and am adding more art classes with a SEL focus to my catalog.

As a professional artist, I have participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions, sold my paintings and wares, and have been commissioned to do numerous murals in private homes as well as public spaces. My most well-known of which is the background on 3 walls of the tide pool exhibit in the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, CO. Most recently, my painting of giant sunflowers was reproduced on a traffic box on a street corner in Thornton, CO. I also make and sell art of all kinds, locally on a smaller scale. In addition to loving art, my husband and I love animals and currently share our home with a dog, two cats, and various birds and squirrels that visit our back yard every day. We love to travel, in particular to the gorgeous Rocky Mountains in our beautiful state of Colorado.
