Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner - Intermediate Level
All are welcome to join! I love to teach art in a warm and friendly educational environment.  I encourage interaction but never demand it. Your child will be guided step-by-step to learn how to draw, paint with watercolors, color with oil pastels and sculpt with air-dry clay!   Each week they will use one art medium such as watercolor paints to complete a project based on the ANIMAL theme. (See below for the weekly plan.) My goal is to connect with students and inspire them to complete the projects by embellishing them with things fueled by their own imaginations. Students will be given the opportunity to share their art with the class if they choose. 

Demonstrations are completed live online with materials listed. Your child will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive on-the-spot support and feedback.

*Camera on preferred for on-the-spot support and for safety
*Siblings and/or co-learners must each be enrolled to attend. All students must be enrolled separately per Outschool policy. Unenrolled students at the time of class will be placed in the waiting room until the parent can enroll them.
*All class lessons are based on student ability and pace.
*All classes will begin on time as long as the learner is in the classroom. If all students are absent at the assigned class time, the teacher will leave a message on the discussion board and exit after 10 minutes.
