-The first few minutes of class will be dedicated to presenting class rules and procedures as well an brief icebreaker so that students can get to know each other. I will ask that they introduce themselves and ask them to share one of the following : their favorite ice cream flavor, favorite food, favorite hobby, favorite color, or favorite animal. -Students will learn about and discuss the definition of the word animation. -Students will be taught a specific techniques that will enable them to create a simple animated drawing called a “Flipy.” (this is NOT a flip book) -My instruction will incorporate several teaching modalities, mainly using demonstration and conversation. My teaching style is highly conversational and interactive. I ask questions throughout the lesson and encourage my students to comment and ask questions as well. -Visuals will be incorporated into the lesson. I’ll demonstrate how a “flipy” is created -I will model each step for the students having them follow along as they complete each step. Students will show their work to me after each step to ensure that the students understand and complete the process. -Students will create 2 “Flipy” animations. If time allows students will design more “Flipy” animations. -Students who like to draw, are at ease with cutting paper and have patience would enjoy this class.
Learning Goals
-Students will learn the definition of animation
-Students will create a very basic animated drawing that I call a “Flipy.” Students will be taught a specific technique that will involve folding paper and placing the two different drawings in a specific way.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Join me on an exciting journey as we learn new skills and ideas. Bring your curiosity and willingness to work and let’s see what we can accomplish.
I have over 30 years experience teaching art, working as a freelance artist and published illustrator, as well as 9 years experience working as a reading tutor and have worked with students from age 2 through 102.
I am a certified art teacher (042 certificate) in Connecticut for grades K-12. I have a B.S. in Art Education as well Masters level courses in studio art, education, computer technology, computer graphics. I also have experience working with reading programs including Fundations, Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Curriculum, Reading Plus, and Lexia.
My instructional,focus will be on teaching art classes, interdisciplinary classes connecting art with various other subject areas, and some reading tutoring.
I love collecting quotations. I’ll share two of my favorites that express my philosophy about teaching. Pablo Picasso said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” I like to encourage creativity in all my students. I believe that art is a language of expression and we each have unique and different voice. As a teacher I encourage students to find express their creative voice.
Another of my favorites is from R. Chanina, “I have learned much from my teachers, more from my colleagues, and the most from my students.” Each new student that I meet and teach offers me new ideas, a different point of view, and their own unique wisdom.
I enjoy drawing (with traditional materials as well as creating digital artwork), hiking in the woods, creative writing, the seashore, spending time with family and friends, like to read and I cheer for the Yankees. Pizza, chocolate, and fruit are some of my favorite foods, and blue is my favorite color.
