Learners may need additional time outside of class to continue working on any unfinished artwork.Class Experience
Learners will be introduced to the history of the Swedish Dala Horse, as they create their own using folk art painting techniques. I will provide learners with a brief presentation on the topic, followed by step-by-step drawing instruction, along with a provided example for reference. Students will be guided to create their own art while reflects their personal style and interpretation. Opportunities to engage with their peers will be through discussion, participation, and the sharing of artwork, if they so desire. My teaching style is kind and patient, and I encourage my students to explore their creativity and experiment with new techniques in a fun, supportive environment. I believe art fosters self-esteem through skill building and independent thinking, while giving students the confidence to express themselves authentically. There is no prior knowledge required - just a love of art, and an adventurous spirit!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I've been teaching art to aspiring young artists for over a decade. I have a solid background in studio art, art history, and pedagogical methods. I've taught students from early childhood through middle school, in addition to having worked as an ESE teacher.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and love of art with my students by providing engaging curricula which stimulates curiosity, fosters self esteem, and nurtures creativity. I create a fun, safe, and structured environment for my students to explore their inner artists.
I am an active member of my local arts community, a member of The National Art Education Association, and I hold a faculty position at a classical school as a K - 6th grade art teacher. In the past, I've worked for The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, art galleries, and cultural institutions.
In my free time, I enjoy attending cultural events, walking on the beach, reading a good book, and of course, making art!Reviews
