In this class I will teach students: - How to create Toothless the dragon and Stitch the alien step by step - How to properly control their paintbrushes for creating smooth and flowing background - How using basic shapes can create detailed masterpieces - How to create highlights and shadows while using black - The importance of highlight placement - How to create effects using different parts of the paintbrush - Paintbrush etiquette There are times I purposely create a mistake in order to show students how to recover from any painting mistakes that may occur during their artistic journey! This fun painting allows students to explore personal creativity-- no two paintings will be the same! I encourage students to make personal color choices to create an art piece unique to themselves.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hullo!
My name is Tabitha, but most kids refer to me as Miss T.
I am looking forward to teaching young people how painting is unique to themselves as individuals, and that life lessons can stem from learning any kind of creative outlet. I personally believe that anyone can create artwork-- it just needs to be cultivated!
I was a studio art teacher for nearly 3 years having taught painting lessons to large groups of children as young as 3 years old to young adults 19+. I understand how to navigate through the discouragement that youths often feel when their art piece does not resemble someone else's that they deem "better," and teach them to see beyond the artwork and look at their own special skills and techniques.
In college I learned that history and science have big part to play in the art world therefore, I enjoy sprinkling "golden nuggets" of grammar and word origins into my art lessons.
In my spare time I think, read classic literature & children's fantasy books, draw & paint, go for walks, and plot novels.
