informal assessmentClass Experience
This is a creative and fun art class with easy to follow instruction. My teaching style is relaxed, with a focus on the individual learner. Each student can work at their own skill level, and follow along with step by step directions. I welcome learners of all identities and backgrounds into my classes. They can color and decorate their project with their own preferences. Each student will get individual help and encouragement. This class is engaging and fosters self esteem and confidence. This is a one time class, but you can enroll in this class again, and we will make a new project each time. No prior drawing experience is neccessary. The students will be encouraged to work at their own level, and learn some new ways to create a drawing. Each time I offer this class, we will work on a new project. Some drawing topics may be animals, nature, designs, and household objects. The students will learn listening skills and practice following directions. The class will also focus on creativity and individuality, in regards to the way they choose to create and color their project. If the drawing they are working on in class is not completely finished and colored during class, they are welcome to add the finishing touches on their own.
