(If parents need amazon links to the above supplies, I am happy to provide.)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Ms. Amy Pollman is certified Visual Arts Instructor K-12, as such if you desire assessment for your learner, such can be arranged. Otherwise this course is self assessed.

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

This class can be messy. Please be advised that your learner needs a studio friendly space to work in studio friendly clothing. We will use glue sticks and scissors. Please be sure you are giving your child children's scissors to work with so they do not harm themselves accidentally. Safety first in the classroom : ) it is helpful to place the learner close to  the camera so they may hold their work up to the camera when they want to share. If at all possible, please avoid placing your learner in front of a window or light source. This will make it difficult to see them and their artwork which is so important for feedback. My classroom is inclusive and diversity supported and we touch on all culture and holidays from a secular point of view. Occasionally and briefly the human body (as bodies are beautiful and everyone has one) will be shown as an example of artist work. Let me know if you have any questions about these elements of the class.

The teacher will provide any and all additional resources.
