In this ongoing weekly course, students will learn how to draw a different animal every week while also learning basic facts about the animals and their habitats. Each week will feature a different animal. Students will receive directed, step-by-step drawing instructions relative to their age and skill level. While step-by-step instructions for the drawing are provided, students are also encouraged to bring and use their own ideas for their drawings. There will also be an informal discussion covering basic facts about the weekly animal as well as a discussion on how they live in the wild, as well as other interesting facts. Each week includes: - Step-by-step, directed drawing instructions with informal discussion and sharing time - A printable original coloring page with accompanying step-by-step drawing lesson - Basic science/biology discussion about the animal SCHEDULE: SUNDAY SECTION Sunday, June 4th: Lions Sunday, June 11th: Tigers Sunday, June 18th: Bears Sunday, June 25th: Axolotls Sunday, July 2nd: Elephants Sunday, July 9th: Penguins Sunday, July 16th: Monkeys Sunday, July 23rd: Pandas Sunday, July 30th: Wolves PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLMENT: FAQ/Policies - ONE STUDENT PER SPOT.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I'm Marie, a full-time teacher and artist. I love a wide variety of art and discovering new ways to foster learning through creativity. I believe having fun and laughing while learning is important because it encourages self confidence and joy. I always try my best to make my classes fun, engaging, and a welcoming experience for every student.
I have taught classroom Art as a certified educator in US schools for 10+ years from ages pre-school through high school, as well as teaching & tutoring in single and group lessons for Art, ESL, SPED, Social Studies, Math, Science, Technology and gifted students. I have also designed and taught in a number of summer camps. In 2017, I was awarded Teacher of the Year honors at my school. I have taught individual and small-group art lessons both online and in my community since 2018, as well as creating and selling my own art to buyers on every continent (well, except Antarctica!)
I have a BA in Education, and have continued professional certification experience through outside professional training programs, conferences and seminars.
In my spare time I enjoy nature, travel, games, and playing with my dogs. I have transitioned to full-time, online private teaching as I believe it allows teachers to develop curriculum which better meets the needs and interests of today's students by directly engaging with the students more thoroughly. The individual and small group settings allow teachers to cater lessons to students needs and goals intuitively. Private teaching online has also allowed me more time and flexibility to spend with my family. I truly believe online learning is a critical part of the future of education, and I'm excited to share some class time with you!Reviews
