Students will learn blending techniques using (chalk) pastels as they create the Aurora lights (*shown in the photo examples & we will look at more). Students can follow the teacher step by step or choose to add their own creative details. My classes tend to be laid back and conversational. Students will get a chance to share what they already know about the Aurora lights (if they choose to share). Then we will watch a short 3-4 minute teaching approved video clip that teaches us more about Science and why these lights occur. Students will get another opportunity to share something they learned or something that they thought was interesting. At the end of class students will be given the opportunity to share their art (there's also no pressure if they don't want to share).
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the Aurora Lights blending using (chalk) pastels.

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!Reviews
