Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
Beginner Level
Using my guided drawing process, students will use simple lines, shapes and patterns to create their own stunning bird in a rainforest or similar setting, color with colored pencils, and paint a background. 

My teaching style involves breaking the process down into smaller, easy-to-follow steps. I pace the class according to the needs of the students; if needed, I give fast finishers a break, allowing students who need more time to complete their work, the time to do so, and even then, finishing before class ends is NOT the objective. The examples in the picture are only suggestive; students may also request a particular favorite if time allows.

My classes are intended to be fun, informative, and a safe place to take artistic risks and make mistakes--that is experimentation, which artists do all the time!

At the end of class, students will be invited to share their creations no matter what their progress is.

Detailed information about the class can be found in the syllabus

Learning Goals

Students will use simple lines and shapes to draw a basic bird shape.
Students will select shapes and patterns to draw details, such as feathers and decorations on the bird

Teacher expertise and credentials
Colorado Teaching Certificate
Master's Degree in Education from University of Colorado, Boulder - Degree DOES NOT EXPIRE
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Metropolitan State College of Denver - Degree DOES NOT Expire
As a licensed art teacher, I have developed techniques for breaking down drawing lessons into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Once we get the basics done, I give my students freedom to complete their project using their own imagination, thereby giving them the opportunity to take what I have taught them to a different, fun and creative level.
