This class is for beginner students who want to start their journey with calligraphy writing. Students are encouraged to use brush markers (flexible pointed tipped markers) for this class. We will begin class by learning about the differences between cursive and calligraphy. Next, we will learn about applying different pressures with our markers to master the upstroke (light pressure) and the thicker downstroke (heavier pressure). We will practice basic strokes and then practice putting the strokes together to form letters and words. If time permits, we will also learn faux calligraphy, which is a skill I teach in most of my other classes. Students are encouraged to print out the practice sheets listed in the course resources before class begins. Students should come equipped with brush markers or calligraphy markers (towbow, etc). Please also bring a few sheets of printer paper to practice forming words and letters. *Please note that we do not use chisel-tipped markers for this class. This class is for brush/pointed tipped markers or calligraphy pens.

Hello Parents!
Thank you for stopping by my profile. If there is a class you're interested in but you don't see your preferred time, please message me or send me a schedule request. I am excited to work with your student(s) on Outschool!
In my classroom, I aim to create an encouraging, fun, and challenging environment so your student can grow in their artistic and academic skills. As a former Art Teacher, most of my classes are art-focused (calligraphy, drawing, hand-lettering, design, and script writing). These are subjects I love and have great experience in. We will have a blast creating and having fun while doing so!
I have a Bachelors Degree of Science, where I majored in Business with an emphasis in Marketing, Design, and Communications. I also have my Advanced TEFL Teaching Certification. I have most recently been teaching ESL to Chinese students virtually for the past 3 years, and have taught over 3,600 classes thus far. It's been so fun learning how to engage and connect with students across the world while working in a virtual classroom. Before teaching English, I taught Art for 2 years at a Classical School. I had the joy of teaching all K-8th grade students, where I also specialized in teaching Spelling and Cursive. Prior to teaching K-8th graders, I worked with college students for 8 1/2 years as a University Adviser. It was my job to prepare college students for their college studies and career pursuits.
As an addition to my career in education, I used my love for art, design, and hand-lettering to start an online clothing and gift shop in 2015. In our prime, the shop had even been featured on BuzzFeed and Huffington Post for our unique and fun t-shirts. It's been a blast watching simple hand-drawn lettering ideas turn into creative designs that sold on shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, and prints from my art studio. Definitely an exciting experience I am so grateful for!
When I am outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, art, exercising, and reading. I hope to see your student in my classroom soon!
Thanks for stopping by!
