What's included

Class Experience

In this class, students will learn basic clay hand-building techniques including slab, coil and pinch to create an air-dry clay masterpiece. Students will learn various vocabulary including fuse, blend, score, seam and how to use them on their hand-built clay piece. This class is designed for students of all comfort levels with clay, from beginners to moderate comfort levels. After creating the art pieces, students are encouraged to paint their creations. Students will learn how to clean their art areas and tools. Students are encouraged to participate in the class by asking questions and sharing their progress in the classroom. Items made with air dry clay will dry hard but are intended for display only. They are not intended for water. 

Breakdown of the class:
Day 1: Fox
Day 2: Llama
Day 3: Chicken Pocket
Day 4: Turtle with shell

Being a Flex Class, students participate when it works with their schedule. Each week will include an uploaded video demonstrating a new lesson, in a step-by-step format including a demonstration of the materials and clean-up techniques. Weekly, discussion questions will be posted to the classroom page. Students will share their finished art piece with the class via the classroom page each week. Discussion questions will be added to the classroom weekly to encourage a deeper understanding of materials and our artist.  

Weekly Sharing of Finished Art Pieces:
Students will share their weekly masterpiece with the class along with a summary of their finished piece including a title, meaning of the art piece and how they used the materials. This can be a video presentation or attached images with a written description. 

Weekly Challenge:
As a challenge, students will try out newly learned techniques to create an additional art and share it with the class. 

Weekly Discussion Questions:
On Mondays, discussion questions will be uploaded to the classroom page. Students will share their responses on the classroom board. Sharing can be done via a video log or in written form.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an illustrator, artist, teacher, business owner, and a pug mom. I have a degree in Illustration, a visual art minor with 20 years of teaching experience. I believe that knowledge is power and the more you know the greater your influence can be. Learning should be fun and individual. Even when my students are looking at the same picture for painting class, their work is very individual and unique to them and I love that part of the creative process. We are all learners and we should celebrate each other on the Journey!
