In this ongoing class, young artists will meet once a week to learn about a different famous artist and create their own masterpiece inspired by that artist’s work! Each session will begin with a fun and age-appropriate slideshow, where students will learn a few interesting facts and view examples of the artist's creations. After our mini art history lesson, students will jump into a hands-on art project inspired by the artist of the week. Projects will be simple and encourage students to be creative while also helping to build important skills like following directions, taking turns, and sharing their artwork with others. This class is interactive and welcoming—no prior knowledge or experience is needed. Each week is a standalone topic, so students can join at any time without missing a beat. A supply list will be provided one week in advance and may include common art materials like paper, crayons, markers, paint, glue, scissors, playdough, or clay. Some projects may require a little prep help from a grown-up before class begins. Come ready to learn, create, and get a little messy while exploring the world of art!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from University of Maryland, College Park
Hello to Everyone! My name is Miss Meghan and I can’t wait to meet your child. I enjoy teaching a variety of classes for preschool and early elementary ages.
I hold a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Special Education. At the beginning of my career, I worked extensively with autistic children in home settings designing programs to help students access the world around them in an empowering way. After my oldest daughter was born, I became a licensed childcare provider creating a home away from home for many children to grow and learn. When my youngest daughter was born, I decided it was time to explore other options and that is how I landed at Outschool. I am so grateful for this opportunity and love meeting new learners from all over the world.
I have a passion for instilling a love of learning in young children through exposure, messy play, and fun! I strongly believe that letting children delve into learning at their own level and allowing for different types of learning styles sets children up for a life long learning journey.
In addition to teaching on Outschool, I currently homeschool my youngest daughter and am very involved in her homeschool co-op and activities. My oldest daughter, who was homeschooled until high school, is trying public school for the first year! I feel so grateful to have a career that I love that also affords me the opportunity to spend time with my own children as well. In my free time, I enjoy art, brainstorming new lesson ideas, cross stitch, and reading!
I offer science, art, language arts, social studies, math, and social classes for preschool and early elementary groups, as well as social groups for neurodivergent learners! Please feel free to message me with any questions!Reviews
