In this class we will learn how to create neurographic art. Neurographic art is a relaxing art style that mimics the neurons of the brain. Learners will be guided in how to create a unique piece of artwork using permanent marker. Refining the edges is a calming, relaxing and meditative experience. Once the design has been set sections can be filled in using watercolor, crayons, colored pencil, or other artistic tools of the artists choice. Learners are encouraged to take their time and enjoy the relaxed experience. Some may finish before class is over, extra materials should be on hand so that a second drawing can be completed. Others may not finish during the class time, but will leave class knowing how to finish their art. I have a very relaxed and open style of teaching. I encourage learners to ask questions, share thoughts, and share their art. No previous knowledge or experience is needed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach art and ballet classes. My background includes Bachelor Degrees in Art Studio and Accounting, as well as Advanced teaching certification in the Cecchetti Method of ballet through the Cecchetti Council of America. My official accreditation with the CCA if Fellow of the Cecchetti Council of America (FCCA)
I have taught, and continue to teach, ballet at National Ballet Institute for the Arts since 1996. At NBIA I have taught children as young as 3 all the way through adults. I have presented both children and teacher's for their Cecchetti ballet certifications. While teaching at NBIA I have guest taught at many studios throughout Maryland and Virginia and continue to teach at the local community center one day a week.
At National Ballet Institute for the Arts my studies included ballet, modern dance, Ukranian dance, Scottish Highland dance, and other forms of character dance. My performance experience includes The Nutcracker, Giselle, Coppelia, The Tales of Beatrix Potter and more!
Additionally, I have been a professional artist since 1999, selling art locally and online. This has led to multiple teaching and exhibition opportunities. Teaching experience has included after school arts programs at the local elementary school, art programs at The Creative and Performing Arts of South County, and independent pop up classes.
Currently, I am LOVING teaching my students on Outschool!
Off of Outschool I am a founding member of The Creative and Performing Arts of South County, an arts center in Maryland and a board member of the Cecchetti Institute (a historical institute for preserving the work of Enrico Cecchetti). I am also a homeschooling mom, finishing up our 9th year!
I believe that learning is fun, the more you learn the more exciting life becomes!
If you do not see a class that works at a time for you, make a request! I cannot promise that I can fulfill the request, but I will do my very best!Reviews
