Ready, Set...Let's Draw! This is a fun step-by-step drawing class to help spark confidence in young learners. We discuss fun facts about the axolotl. The kids have artistic freedom to embellish their drawings with their own style. Children can color their animal using their medium of choice: crayons, markers, or colored pencils. What to expect: - Students check in - Class starts on time - We socialize for a few minutes and learn some fun facts about axolotls. - Students draw along, step-by-step, but may add their own creativity and style! - Students will raise their hand for feedback or questions. - We add color and a background (Some coloring may need to be done after class, depending on time.) - Finally, learners can hold up and share if they would like to. Beginning and intermediate drawers are welcome! All abilities are welcome in this supportive environment. The next class drawing subjects are chosen by the learners, and can include but are not limited to: Elegant Elephants Red Panda Giant Giraffes Doggie Dog Playful Penguins Iguana Jellyfish Pretty Parrots Red-eyed Treefrog Cuddly Cat Dynamic Dolphins Owls Birds, Butterflies and Flowers Underwater Surprises
Learning Goals

We will use line, color, shape, value, space and texture to bring form and character to our animal. Learners will practice following directions, focusing on details, turn mistakes into 'happy little accidents', and make a drawing to be proud of. I am here to teach, inspire, and unleash a passion for art and nature, all while having fun!

Greetings! I'm Mrs. Joyce, dedicated to fostering a passion for art, writing, and the joy of learning. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelors Degree in Art and Administration, and a minor in Special Education. With over 5,000 online classes taught on various platforms, I create a safe and engaging environment where students thrive. Through encouragement, I empower individuals to boost their self-confidence and motivation.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse age groups and abilities, spanning from elementary to university levels, in various settings such as homes and online platforms. I possess valuable experience in supporting both special needs learners and gifted individuals.
When I'm not teaching classes on Outschool, I take on the role of homeschooling my son. Additionally, I actively contribute as a member of the school board and co-facilitate at an agile learning center. Here, children are encouraged to learn through play, embracing a dynamic educational experience.
Outside the realm of education, I indulge in my passions for writing, painting, and exploring nature with my family. I'm always eager to make new friends, so don't hesitate to join me in the classroom for an inspiring journey!Reviews
