Over the course of 6 weeks in this multi-day class, learners will create crafts celebrating the season of fall. Along the way, we will learn about Halloween and Thanksgiving, and how they are celebrated in America. Each week, learners make a new craft together while talking with new friends. Crafts we will be making include: Week 1: Paper Plate Owl Week 2: Halloween Stick Puppets Week 3: Cat or Bat Tube Puppet Week 4: Leaf Crown Week 5: Scarecrow Face Puppet Week 6: Pumpkin Pie and Turkey Class begins with introductions and greetings. Project time follows, with everyone creating together. During class, I use two cameras. The second camera is above my workspace, so the project is always visible. Class will wrap up with art sharing time and goodbyes. I am a compassionate teacher and I respect student artists’ varying skill levels and communication preferences. Learners may choose to engage in discussions, respond using chat, and/or share their artworks. Learners are encouraged to communicate in a way that is best for them. Art is all about individual expression!

Hi! I'm Ms. Karen and I teach sewing, drawing and painting here on Outschool.
I have a BA in Studio Art, and a current teaching certificate in Visual Arts and in Gifted Education. I have taught art in public and private schools from Pre-K to 12th grade for 20 years. Now, I teach on Outschool, and host paint parties!
Through my calm and positive instructional style, I encourage artists to engage in art making and trust their own ideas. I model being okay with making mistakes (they are a natural part of learning), trying new things, and sharing ideas. Including each learner in class discussion is important to me, because I want every learner who is in one of my classes to feel important and included.
I use two cameras to teach: one for my face, and one over my work space. Because students have a good view of what I am doing, it is easier for them to create!
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy my big animal family! My husband and I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. Amazingly, they all get along. I like kayaking in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia where I live. I find observing nature endlessly fascinating, and enjoy seeing bald eagles, osprey and herons regularly.
One of the most interesting events in my life was when I spent time with the artist Christo at a dinner party. Talking with him was fascinating! He had so many stories of traveling and adventure to share.Reviews
