Beginner Level
During this class students will have a brief introduction to the artist, Claude Monet and learn about the art movement he founded known as “Impressionism.” This will be followed by a drawing lesson in which students will draw one of Monet’s famous paintings called, “Woman with Parasol.” During the first half of class students will develop the drawing in 5 progressive steps. They will learn that drawings can also be broken down into 5 basic shapes. Monet used bold colorful brush strokes and lots of natural sunlight to create beautiful and often compelling pieces of art! He often painted the same image at different times of the day to capture different moods. During the second half of class, students will learn basic coloring techniques. Coloring is an important part of the drawing! Your child will be inspired by the use of light and color in their completed masterpiece! Never again will they look at color and sunshine in the same way! It is my hope that I can instill a love for drawing as well as a sense of confidence in your young artist! The cognitive skills that they master while drawing can also be helpful when learning at school! In the materials section you will find everything that you need for this exciting class!
Learning Goals
Students will learn to develop a drawing through 5 steps. They will learn that drawings can be broken down into shapes. Students will also learn to bring their drawings to life through proper coloring technique.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Psychology from Yeshiva University
ABOUT ME
I earned a college degree in Botany from Rutgers University, and a master’s degree in School Psychology from Yeshiva University. I have worked as a psychologist and a teacher. As a psychologist I diagnosed and treated children who were having difficulty learning. I worked in the classroom helping teachers determine strategies to help their students succeed. I am also a portrait artist! I love to draw the faces of children! I have many awards through the Atlanta Portrait Society including an Award of Merit (2016). In addition, I love to teach drawing classes! I have a passion to teach children and help them develop their creative talents! I have worked as a drawing instructor for a company called Young Rembrandts. Drawing involves a tremendous number of cognitive skills such as planning, sequencing, memory, and visual motor integration! These skills are important for classroom learning! I enjoy teaching at OUTSCHOOL very much. I offer students a variety of classes including, but not limited to Art History drawing classes, Realistic Animal Portraits and Anime Portrait Drawing classes. Additionally, my Private 1:1 tutoring classes are popular for those students who prefer individualized attention. My family and I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I have three children! When I am not working, I enjoy hiking with my family and playing the cello. I would love the opportunity to do drawing classes for your child. If they succeed in learning, then I am happy!
