What's included
Class Experience
Create art with instruction but at your own pace! This is a flex class, perfect for working on art! Videos with supplies and lessons are posted in the classroom but there are no live meetings. Step by step directions will be given but you will be able to stop and start as needed. Work when it fits your schedule. This flex class will run for 4 weeks. Each week I will post a project and supply list. In addition I will post a video with a step by step lesson to create the artwork. While you work feel free to pause the video and work at your own speed. Review steps as you need so that you are successful in your work! Remember I will direct you but you are welcome and encouraged to make your own creative choices! Throughout the week I will post questions related both to fall and our lesson. We will have polls, search and finds, and scavenger hunts. Students are required to share answers and converse with the other learners! It is a great way for us to get to know each other and have fun. Students will be required to post pictures or videos of their artwork. It is a great opportunity to engage in an artistic critique and discussion. I will offer constructive criticism and helpful hints. Students should make kind compliments or ask questions about fellow students' artwork. Projects: Mixed Media Leaf Collage, Acrylic Fall Landscape, Pastel Moonlight with Bats, Acrylic Haunted House Each lesson will incorporate how to use various elements of art and principles of design to create a piece of art. We will experiment with different art materials throughout the flex course.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Kim. I am passionate about Art, it truly makes our world a better place! I have taught art in public schools for over 8 years and privately for 4 years. However, I have loved art since I was a small child! I have always loved doodling! Sharing the love of art with students is especially fun. In addition I have taught Preschool for over 2 years.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education from The College of New Jersey with a minor in Psychology, concentration in Art Therapy. During those studies I worked on various areas of art from sculpture, to printmaking to color theory and much more. In addition I studied the art of teaching specifically in the area of art education. I also have a Masters in the Art of Teaching from Marygrove College.
I live in a coastal town with my husband, 3 girls and miniature goldendoodle. Besides creating art and being crafty I enjoy baking, reading and traveling...especially to Disney World! Can't wait to see you in class.
