~Artists can follow step by step and ask questions. I will give feedback on the student's progress and suggestions to improve their artistic skills. Artists are encouraged to hold their art up to the camera multiple times each class if they want help or encouragement, although this is optional. Artists are also welcome to ask for help at any point during class, so they never have to worry about getting stuck.

~Here are the four things you should know about Ongoing Classes at Outschool. 
     + Ongoing classes are subscription-based and meet each week. After enrolling, you will be charged weekly on Sunday mornings (according to Pacific Time) until you stop your subscription.
     + Each payment covers your learner’s weekly access to the class meeting following the Sunday charge; this includes the recorded lesson if you stay enrolled.
     +If you miss a class, the recorded lesson is available for up to 30 days on the classroom page.
     +There is a new option to pause your learner's subscription. This allows you to remain enrolled and take a week or two off. This does not give you access to the recorded lessons missed. This also does not secure your spot in the class. 


*All class times are approximate. Class length varies based on student ability and the number of enrolled learners. Classes are designed to run at most the allotted time.*

*Please note:  This is an art class, and I can only give feedback and proper instruction if your child has their camera on and communicates with me. This allows me to see how students progress and ensure no one falls behind. 

*According to Outschool policy, all students need to be registered separately. If they are not, they are to be placed in the waiting room until the parent can make arrangements to register the extra learners, or the teacher may refund them.  We understand the desire for friends or siblings to watch, but if two children participate under one registration, they will be sent back to the waiting room per Outschool policy. One child per registration. It is acceptable for registered learners to share a screen!

I do not offer refunds or transfers 24 hours before class time. I adhere to the Outschool refund and transfer policy: “Full refund or class-to-class transfer within 24 hours of the class start time.” You can view the class recording on the classroom page if you miss the class
