Beginner Level
Experience: Students do not need to have prior experience with watercolor. Class Description: This class will focus on creating loose designs/illustrations of botanicals. Students will not learn how to paint botanicals in a realistic way. Instead they are encouraged to follow their imagination! What will students learn? -How to activate watercolors -How to hold brushes -Watercolor techniques -How to make flowers arrangements Instruction: Students will follow along with my live instruction. Students can replicate exactly what I am showing them or they can choose to follow their intuition. They will be able to use their intuition to use their own color combinations if they choose or to create the botanicals in a style they feel drawn to. They will also have the opportunity to create their own designs based on what they have learned. This will strengthen students' understanding and develop their creativity. Final result: Students will have created samples of watercolor techniques as well as florals. They will have an opportunity to freely create their own florals as they wish. This exercise can be replicated and used to create gifts for family and friends for greeting cards and decorative art! After class: Students can continue to practice these techniques on their own, but are not required to. NOTE ON MATERIALS: Watercolor paper must be 140lb weight to hold the water properly. Brushes must be for watercolor student/prof level. I strongly encourage watercolor paint to be student/professional 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ 🧸Special note: Siblings are welcome!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from CSU
Greetings, learners and families!
I'm teacher Nazaret (pronounced nah-sah-reht), and I'm thrilled to be a part of the Outschool community. I officially joined Outschool in 2022, in the late fall of 2022 I embarked on my journey as a dedicated Outschool educator. Although my journey with Outschool is relatively fresh, my experience in teaching extends far beyond this platform.
With a rich educational background, I hold a BA degree in Psychology and an MA in Education-Counseling. My teaching experience encompasses a diverse range of learners, spanning from the littlest learners all the way to adult learners. My expertise lies not only in imparting essential life skills like career exploration, time management, and personal responsibility, but also in nurturing creativity through captivating mediums like painting and art journaling.
I'm more than an educator; I'm an artist with a vibrant creative journey. My passion flows through mixed media, acrylic, watercolor, and oil painting. Nature is my muse, and I often find myself wandering through arboretums, capturing its beauty through my lens. This love for photography finds its way into my artwork, enriching the creative tapestry that defines my style.
You can explore my artistic creations not only in the form of original pieces but also across an array of products like prints and stickers.
My creative exploration isn't confined to my personal pursuits. I extend my artistic wisdom to the realm of education, offering adult watercolor courses to both individuals and corporate groups. This holistic approach to teaching enables me to instill artistic skills while fostering personal growth and expression.
I'm not only fluent in both English (US) and Spanish (Mexico), but I'm also bicultural, embracing the unique nuances of each language and culture.
My teaching philosophy resonates with my own journey as a learner. Each learner carries a treasure trove of knowledge, and together, we uncover the gems within. I believe in nurturing confidence, particularly among introverted learners. I understand the challenge of stepping into the spotlight, and I'm committed to creating a comfortable space where learners can grow at their own pace. Whether it's camera breaks, voice alternatives, or personalized instruction, I collaborate closely with parents and learners to ensure a supportive and effective learning environment.
What do I aspire for my learners to gain from my classes? Three core pillars:
1. **Knowledge**: Bridging gaps, strengthening understanding, and embracing new knowledge.
2. **Confidence**: Empowering learners to believe in their abilities and fostering growth through self-assurance.
3. **Support**: Fostering a sense of co-creation and collaboration, making each learner an essential part of the educational journey.
