In this class, learners will learn how to draw a train engine. Class layout: 1. We will begin by going over basic geometric shapes. 2. We will then talk about how all objects are created with shapes. 3. Next, we will look at a toy train and talk about the shapes they see. 4. I will then walk them through drawing the shapes in order to create one side and then the front of the train. When learners are finished drawing their train they will be encourage to color it and create a background. Colors and background will be up to each learner. This is where their individual creativity is encouraged. The class will be fun and learners should feel free to ask questions and make comments about the process. Some knowledge of geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, circles, and triangles will help but is not necessary.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I am Mrs. Alicia. I teach creative art classes. Creative art classes are classes that not only teach basic art skills but encourage and strengthen a child’s natural creativity.
My teaching style is laid back and light. I enjoy talking to my students and socializing is encouraged in my classes. I only ask that my students work while they talk so they can complete their project.
I encourage my students to try. Some of my projects are challenging but I remind students that very few people get it right the first time. Art takes practice and it is ok to try again.
I work with students on problem solving. Mistakes happen. What can you do to fix that mistake? Sometimes the mistake can be erased or turned into something else and sometimes it can’t. If the mistake can’t be fixed, then maybe the problem isn’t the mistake but how we look at it. Mistakes in art can create interest in our drawing or painting.
I have an associate degree in Early Childhood Education, which includes Early Childhood Credentials. I use the knowledge I gained while working towards my degree to create age-appropriate activities for my students. I also use this knowledge to create a fun classroom environment where every student feels welcome, included, and important.
I am so excited to share my love of art and the creative process with your children. Thank you for your interest in my classes.Reviews
