Parental Guidance
💡 Please log into the Outschool classroom on the same device as your art app and give permission for zoom to control your device remotely if possible. If you prefer using a mobile device to make your art, I recommend logging into the Outschool meeting TWICE: one log-in should be the mobile device where you are creating your art and the second should be a device with a video camera facing the student so we can better communicate. To prevent audio feedback, disable the audio on one device.
💻 Canva is a free (with paid options) online software with many options for creating graphics. Most of our work can be completed using only canva. Install the app at canva.com . Canva requires all account holders to be aged 13 or older – parents will need to create an account for students aged under 13 years. It is recommended that all students log in with a parent account. This course uses the free version of Canva, you do not need to upgrade to a paid subscription. Be sure you are logged into an active account before class begins.
💻 Photopea.com is free online software that works nearly exactly like Adobe Photoshop and is great for students using a laptop. Students who have not purchased and installed Photoshop on their computer may opt to use Photopea instead if they have a strong internet connection. We will use Photopea to capture and crop screenshot images. Find it at https://www.photopea.com

I hold a Bachelors in Fine Art from Virginia Tech and a Masters in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. I taught digital art to undergraduate pre-service art teachers as an adjust professor at VCU and as a public high school teacher; now I enjoy teaching digital art to students online. I love teaching drawing, painting, sculpture and Photoshop to learners of all ages. I've been teaching for 20+ years and running my own piano studio for 10+ years. There's a special place in my heart for creative works and the artists that make them, especially fantasy stories and narrative artworks, comics and graphic novels.
