**PLEASE NOTE** This is a SELF-PACED class and is PRE-RECORDED. THIS MEANS STUDENTS WILL WATCH THE PRE-RECORDED VIDEO. There are no live meetings. All interactions between students and the teacher will happen on the class page. This class will be presented via pre-recorded demonstration drawings. Students will engage in questions, class discussions on the classroom tab, assignments and be part of an artist critique, which will be guided by the instructor. Why Self-Paced? *MY Self-Paced classes ALWAYS cost less than the live versions of the same class! *Self-Paced classes are an excellent choice for families with busy schedules. *Content is exactly the same as live classes, at a lower fee. *Students can work at an independent pace. *Self-Paced classes are fantastic for international students whose time zone doesn't match the teacher's (US Mountain Time), *Self-Paced classes are a great alternative for students who are uncomfortable with live video chat. Our Self-Paced format will be as follows: Content: Video demonstration of the process will be posted. Videos will vary in length depending on the type of art being presented. Some may be as short as 10 or 15 minutes while others could be ½ hour or more. Student work is expected to take anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour, depending upon the student’s preferred pace. Drawing Assignments: Students spend time completing their artwork and submit it via the classroom. Submit Assignment: Students are required to post photos of their completed artwork in the classroom on the designated post. Keep in mind, uploading artwork for the teacher to see is important for assessment and feedback. Detailed information regarding the content of each session can be found in the syllabus.

over 1 WeekLesson 1:
Dandelion Fluff
In this fun painting class, students will learn two watercolor techniques: Crayon Resist and Wet-on-Wet.
We will draw dandelion fluffs in pencil, and then draw over them with a white crayon (My example is outlined in Sharpie because the painting was too light to show the white of the crayon). Stems and leaves will be drawn in with green crayons.
Once finished, we will paint the background using wet-on-wet watercolor, allowing the color to spread and diffuse, while the wax of the crayons resists 21 mins of video lessons

I love teaching kids how to draw! Throughout my career, I have developed ways to break down an art process that seems difficult into small, easy to follow steps that break down the difficulty and fear, and help the student experience success.Reviews
