As I don't rush learners, some students will finish during class time and some will complete projects after class time is complete.Class Experience
In this fun and interactive ongoing class, we will learn about various art styles and artists. The topics will include painting techniques, drawing skills, watercolor resist art projects, patterns and repetition, color theory, and self-expression. Each week, we will create a new art project. The class will begin with a brief introduction for new students. I will then present a picture or slideshow related to the art topic we will explore. I will also encourage students to ask any questions about their art materials before we start our projects. Students can choose to follow along with my demonstration or create their own unique artwork. There will be plenty of opportunities for self-expression, and my teaching style is both enthusiastic and encouraging. I want students to use their imaginations to make art that they enjoy. As we work on our projects, we will have many chances to share our artwork with one another. At the end of each class, learners will present their art to the group, and I will provide positive feedback on each student's work.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Art and Design from The College of New Jersey
Hello! I am an Art Educator and Artist. I love teaching art to all ages, especially elementary school and middle school. My art classes include watercolor painting, acrylic painting, drawing, elementary art projects that work on skill building, and learning about art history through fun projects about artists - including Non-Western and Women artists.
I teach art from my heart and aim to build self esteem in my students through the arts. I challenge students to find their inner artist through creativity and self expression. I believe in the process of art, individual expression, creative thinking, and problem solving. Each art project is designed to develop technical skills, artistic interpretation, and unique artwork. We have lots of fun while making artwork and socializing is encouraged during my art classes.
My art background began as a child. I loved to learn how to paint or draw anything and everything. After receiving a BFA in Graphic Design, I became a children's textile designer in the fashion industry in NYC. While in New York, I attended fine arts classes at the Art Student's League and The New School. I moved to New York State's Hudson Valley, and am inspired daily by the landscapes and nature around me. I also am inspired by my pet cats, who may visit the classroom once in a while.Reviews
