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.

💡   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 you 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.

I will be demonstrating using Canva, which is a FREE (with paid options) online software with many options for creating graphics. No installation required on a computer. For mobile devices, install the app at canva.com or from your app store. 

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, preferably on the SAME DEVICE AS ZOOM.

I may show some examples of graphic design in Canva, only to illustrate a point.

Photopea is a free, online, photo-editing software very similar to Photoshop. NO account or installation is required. Students MUST use a computer.

Pexels.com and Unsplash.com are internet’s source of freely usable images, high resolution images. Generally, the images that return on a search of these sites are safe and appropriate for students; however, it is possible to abuse these tools to find inappropriate images. Parental supervision is suggested for students under the age of 13.
