In this four day camp, we will draw a different Marine Reptile of the Mesozoic each day, starting with a pencil sketch which we will then finalize with pen, and color with the medium of your choice. While we draw, we will discuss the features of each species and why they may have been the way they were. Day one - we will draw and discuss the ferocious mosasaurus. Day two - we will draw and discuss the whale-like shastasaurus. Day three - we will draw and discuss the long-necked elasmosaurus. Day four - we will draw and discuss the terrifying kronosaurus. Young artists and young biologists alike will find this camp fun and educational!
Learning Goals
Students will learn multi-step drawing techniques similar to those used by professionals. We will learn a bit about each extinct marine reptile as well, such as what it ate and what its probable habitat and range were.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach classes that have a language arts focus. My classes are usually for learners aged 8-16, but don't hesitate to let me know if you're looking for something similar for a younger learner - I'm happy to work with all ages. I am also a lifelong enthusiastic artist, so I love to teach classes on drawing.
I have worked as a professional tutor for over twelve years; first for the California Board of Education, and later for a private company where I was made Language Arts Program Director for the entire organization. I've taught students from ages 5-18, in class sizes ranging from 1-20.
My teaching philosophy is that education should be, as far as is practical, learner-directed. I value the learners' input, their interest, and their active curiosity. If the learner is interested and having fun, they will remember what they've learned and seek to build upon it and share it. Learning should be a pleasure so that it becomes a lifelong habit of mind, even after the school years have passed.
Finally, I believe that a happy and passionate teacher makes for happy and passionate learners, which is why all of my classes are about topics that I truly enjoy and can't wait to share and discuss with young learners.Reviews
