In this ongoing class, students will be learning to draw an adorable animal, beautiful landscape or still life scene and use acrylic painting techniques to paint it. We will break down animals into simple shapes and then refine our drawing. Acrylic painting techniques such as mixing colors on the palette and canvas, gradients, impasto, and glazing will be taught as needed for the specific project. Lessons will be in a "work with me format" with visual and audio step-by-step instructions. I will show my finished work at the start of class as an example along with the supplies needed to create it. Art freedom and fun will be emphasized in a relaxed setting. Students will be encouraged to add their creative personal touches to their work. I will offer a sharing event at the end of the class and/or I will encourage students to upload their finished work to the classroom after it dries to share with me and their art friends. There's no pressure to share artwork but we love to see your paintings! 2024 ongoing...

FOLLOW ME FOR NEW CLASSES! :)
Hello art friends! I'm Ms. Michelle. I'm offering directional and expressive art projects for young learners. I'm an artist with my education in Fine Art. I believe whole heartedly in the Montessori philosophy. I owned Montessori schools for years and I've taught art to thousands of preschool and elementary students in person and online.
Art has always been my happy place where I can be myself, share experiences, and enjoy friends. My art classes will help students practice fine motor skills, follow oral and visual instructions, improve art skills, and express themselves through creativity and social classes.
I hope you will join me for fun art with friends or message me for a private class! I'm a full time Outschool Teacher so if you need another time for a class, please feel free to contact me. Thank you and I'll see you soon!
Schedule a class! Feel free to schedule any of my one time classes. There are over 300 choices! If you need assistance, please message me. I also teach several different weekly art medium classes! Check my schedule!

*Late to Class Policy - If you’re more than 10 minutes late, I reserve the right to not admit you into class. This is a significant interruption in the process of creation for other learners.
