Class Experience

In this exciting class about the beauty of birds, we will sketch a bird of focus, such as the hummingbird or any other of an infinite possibility of feathered friends.  Learners will be able to follow along, step by step, while learning how to create texture, value, and shading to help our bird friends come to life with key sketching tips and techniques. We will then add some hues and tints of color, also exploring the skill of creating gradient transitions to show depth and play of light. 
Learners do not need to have any specific prior level of drawing skill, as my approach is very patient and paced by our students as a whole. I use encouragement and support to lead our class, enabling the learner to feel free to take risks and trust in their own unique creativity and abilities.

Hello! My name is Chantal Drezek. I graduated many years ago, from Framingham State University in Massachusetts and taught the second grade. I have also tutored many multiple age/ability levels and have had many successful and wonderful experiences with students integrated through our advanced ESL program. Math was my minor and love in college, along with Art study. These topics would be my primary focus and strength to share, although I welcome many more opportunities as well.  I currently teach online to China and adore the students that I have been blessed to connect with!  I love watching children making connections to the world around them and watching them take pride in their accomplishments. I am blessed to experience this daily with my own 5 children, throughout our personal life experiences and our homeschool academic journey, as they approach each day with new wonder and enthusiasm. I can't wait to work with you and your child(ren) through Outschool and provide them quality learning, respect, encouragement, and a renewed interest in the world around them! Thank you for the opportunity to help your child thrive and grow in both success and confidence!
