Throughout the class, I will have artists share their work with me to see their progress and ask questions as they arise.Class Experience
After brief introductions and check-in for all the supplies needed, we will get right to work! We will use different combinations of media each day to create a beautiful winter composition. Artists will learn exciting techniques that can be used for future projects throughout the year, including watercolor resist, perspective drawing, and directive drawing/painting. I will demonstrate all techniques on my art cam, as well as have a completed example to show the students. I will encourage respectful conversation and questions along the way and I will check in with everyone as steps are completed to ensure that they are understanding the process. Grab your supplies, and a steamy mug of cocoa, and meet me in the studio!

Learning Goals
My goal is for artists to have fun creating winter-themed, colorful artwork using simple supplies and to learn new techniques they can experiment with on their own.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from UCLA
I graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor of Arts degree in visual arts. I have taught K-12 graders for the last 13 years in a variety of subjects, including a monthly art program that focused on art elements and the art masters. I enjoy teaching simple concepts that allow my students to experiment, explore and express themselves in new ways. I love discovering how one technique can have unexpected results and even be used in new ways. Sharing these colorful ideas with young artists makes the process even more exciting- I often learn from them as well!
