Sometimes if students do not finish their art piece in class they can finish it after class at home and are encouraged to bring it to another class section anytime!Class Experience
In this one-time class, students will learn how to draw Maribel from the movie Encanto. This lesson will focus on the following art skills and elements: - Portrait drawing skills in a cartoon style - Basic shaping for the human form - There will be extensive time and emphasis on learning how to draw curly hair. Advanced students will have the opportunity to learn more about shading techniques to bring depth to the hair by showing value. Students can follow the drawing instruction step-by-step in my classes but are also encouraged to be creative and try things as well. Throughout class we will talk about the art in an open discussion format, and also discuss Maribel and the movie Encanto. Students are encouraged to take turns sharing and chat but also can remain silent if they choose. Younger and less advanced artists can expect a more simplified version of this drawing during class time as showing value and shading is a skill typically students learn starting in the 5th grade (US equivalent). Older and more advanced younger students in the age range may have more focus on shading and value in the hair. Students who complete their drawing before the end of class will also be offered extra tips and can continue to expand on their work by including more details in the background to create a scene, or starting a new piece. All of my classes are highly interactive and usually contain a special surprise at the end in form of a mystery unboxing, magic trick, etc.! PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLMENT: FAQ/Policies - ONE STUDENT PER SPOT. If enrolling multiple students, please register each of them. Multiple students appearing under the same spot will result in students being removed from the classroom. - All my Outschool classes have a limited refund policy. Transfers, no-shows, late arrivals, cancellations, refunds and make-up requests CANNOT be accommodated within 24 hours of class time. No exceptions. Class recordings are available upon request for missed sections if the class proceeds with other students. - Teachers on Outschool are independent contractors who cannot control nor troubleshoot technical issues with Zoom or the Outschool platform. Please test your connection with your device in advance of class time and contact Outschool directly at support@outschool.com for help with technical issues. - Live sections with no present learners are cancelled after 10 minutes of class time. - I do not offer sibling discounts for public classes at this time, however, I do offer a small discount for private classes when registering 2 or more students for a month or more. Please message me for more details. - These are WYSIWIG art classes: What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get! All thumbnails, promotional materials, class resources, and in-class drawings are original art produced by Marie (the teacher). Students are often offered a variety of reference images and resources from popular art styles to choose so they can draw in their preferred style, but special focus is paid to developing student's original art skills and not simply copying another artist. All images, drawings or other art resources are never taken from other artists to use as promotional materials.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their drawing of the human form through basic shape drawing, as well as learn techniques to draw curly hair while showing depth and value.

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!
