In this 1-time class, we'll use various shades of green, brown, and pink to draw two avocados holding hands with heart-shaped pits inside them. Then, we'll learn a modern calligraphy technique called "faux calligraphy" that focusing on upstrokes and downstrokes. We'll use this skill to write the words, "Let's AVO-cuddle" and then color and shade our letters togethers. We'll also some tiny hearts to finish off our drawing. This class is great for the beginner, or fun for students who have already taken some of my classes. Students will be guided step-by-step and given creative liberty to change and adapt their compositions as we draw together. Card stock is preferred (but not required) for this class as we’re aiming to create a sturdy wall-art piece. Students can also choose color options they prefer most. ***Please note, some students may not have time to finish coloring their card in class depending on their optimal drawing speed. I will work at a steady pace and frequently gage where students are at during the lesson. It is my goal to help them finish their drawing, but sometimes this doesn’t allow for coloring completion before class is over. Thank you for understanding.***

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Univeristy of Phoenix
I am a former Art Teacher and had the privilege of teaching Art for 2 years to K-8th grade students using various mediums and forms. A lot of my class instruction was teaching the art of drawing. Weekly, we drew various compositions ranging from seasonal landscapes, wild animals, nature, and portraits. Students enjoyed learning skills to create realistic drawings while adding as much flare and creative variation as they liked. Watching students enjoy making art and grow in their own confidence was truly a priceless gift. In addition to teaching art, I am an artist and have an art studio in my home. I've used my love for hand-lettering and design to start a business in 2015 selling products with my work. It's been so fun!
