Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Welcome to a year-long mixed media painting class designed for beginners artists! Each week, we’ll dive into a new theme, using a mix of art materials like markers, colored pencils, watercolors, and oil pastels, paired with essential sketching and shading techniques. Flexibility is key—if you don’t have the exact materials, feel free to use any alternatives you have at home.

Goal of the Class:  
The primary goal of this class is to develop strong drawing skills and a solid understanding of color theory, empowering young artists to confidently express their creativity. By exploring various themes, students will learn how to combine different art techniques and materials to create vibrant, dynamic artworks. My aim to build both technical skills and creative confidence, laying a strong foundation for future artistic endeavors.

What We’ll Explore:
- Drawing fantasy art.
- Creating vibrant animal and bird portraits.
- Designing beach scenes with waves, sand, and sunshine.
- Illustrating underwater adventures featuring water animals.
- Crafting unique characters.
- Exploring landscapes, cityscapes, and nature scenes.
- Depicting space exploration and alien worlds.
- Designing intricate patterns and mandalas.
- Experimenting with abstract art and geometric shapes.

Class Structure:  
In each 55-minute session, I will guide you step by step through the creative process, adapting the lessons to match your skill level. You’ll follow along at your own pace, with plenty of room to express your unique artistic style. If any concerns arise, we’ll discuss them together, ensuring you feel confident and supported throughout the course.

For those who need more personalized guidance, I also offer 1:1 classes tailored to individual needs.

Join me for a fun, colorful, and educational journey where you’ll build your artistic skills and let your imagination soar!

My love for art and craft has been with me since childhood, and after completing my academic and design degrees, I began teaching art to kids. Over time, more kids expressed interest in learning, and it kept me deeply engaged with my passion. This led me to establish my own art school. I expanded my horizons by selling my art worldwide and volunteering as an art docent in elementary schools while teaching as an after-school instructor. 
I guide students through step-by-step processes, explore different styles, and experiment with various art media.
I offer art lessons to students aged 5-17, both in groups and through private one-on-one sessions. In these 14 years I teach a wide range of art media, including watercolor, oil pastels, acrylics, oil painting, sculpture painting, color pencil techniques, sketching, and shading.
Let's embark on this creative journey together!
Besides art and craft, I also love cooking, watching movies, going on hikes in nature, and most importantly, spending quality time with my two lovely kids and my husband.
Thank you!
