Class Experience

In this one time class learners will learn the skills necessary to create up to four watercolor paintings that look like glowing neon signs.

I will lead the learners to create their paintings with step by step instructions. The first painting will be completed together as we work through each step along with explanations on why each particular step is necessary to the finished product.

After the first painting is completed learners will have the opportunity to paint up to three more paintings with coaching and troubleshooting from me.

At the end of class learners will have completed at least two fun and well executed watercolor paintings.

Learning Goals

Learners will know the skills necessary to create a watercolor painting that looks like a glowing neon sign.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hi, I'm Lori.  I'm a retired public school teacher in California where I taught everything from elementary school to middle school Language Arts and Social Studies. Since retirement I have had to opportunity to travel around the world and take up the hobbies of painting and cake decorating. Although I am enjoying retirement, I miss the interacting with students in an educational environment. I believe every student can be successful in any subject as long as they have the right teacher. I was honored by the State of California for my classroom management abilities and I firmly believe I excelled at classroom management because my students were engaged simply because they enjoyed learning. I believe in finding a student's strength and using that strength to guide my lessons. 

 In addition to teaching children, I have recently had the opportunity to teach community classes in acrylic painting and cake/cupcake decorating. I find the fine arts to be relaxing.  I am in no way a great artist, but I enjoy the creativity of starting with nothing and having something beautiful in just a few hours that I created all on my own.
