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.

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
My name is Tami Oakes, and I'm thrilled to be your child's guide on their artistic journey! With over 10 years of teaching (art) experience, I bring the fun of art directly into your home through interactive, small-group online classes designed for kids and teens.
Here’s why my classes stand out:
Inclusivity and Support
I believe in creating an inclusive and supportive environment where every student feels valued and encouraged to express their creativity. All students, regardless of their skill level, should feel comfortable exploring their artistic abilities.
Patience and Kindness
My teaching approach is rooted in patience and kindness. I prioritize building strong relationships with my students, which fosters trust and open communication. This allows students to feel safe in taking creative risks.
Clear Instruction
I strive to provide clear and concise instructions that cater to diverse learning styles. This ensures that all students can engage with the material effectively and understand the concepts being taught.
Engagement and Personalization
I focus on engaging students of varying ages and skill levels by adapting lessons to meet individual needs. By personalizing my approach, I help students stay motivated and connected to their learning.
Exploration and Experimentation
I encourage students to explore a variety of mediums and techniques, promoting experimentation in their artistic practice. This not only enhances their skills but also allows them to discover their unique artistic voice.
Building Confidence
My philosophy emphasizes nurturing self-expression and building confidence in artistic abilities. I celebrate students' achievements, big or small, to instill a sense of pride in their work.
Community and Collaboration
I foster a sense of community within the classroom, encouraging collaboration and interaction among students. This cultivates a supportive artistic environment where students can learn from one another.
Overall, my teaching philosophy is centered around empowering students to become confident, creative individuals who are proud of their artistic journeys.
Please reach out to me with any questions, I hope to meet your child soon!
