Through group discussion, learners will have many opportunities to solidify their comprehension and understanding of these topics, as well as the physical example in the Art work produced during class time.Class Experience
Two of the main hallmarks of Impressionism are its connection to nature, and the space around subjects. This one time course will examen the concept of plein air from a literal and figurative standing. Participants will be encouraged to look past the concept of an outline, and see shapes in a looser way. We will discuss perspective, and how physical distance allows for different experiences of impressionist work. With a specific focus on Claude Monet, learners will learn about his unusual eye sight, vast knowledge of gardening, and undeniable work ethic. We will discover the meaning by his work through visual thinking strategies, and I will demonstrate a variety of approaches in translating this style to crayon, colored pencil, or marker work.
Learning Goals
Participants with be able to identify and comprehend distinguishing characteristics of Impressionist techniques. Learners will gain familiarity with some of Monet’s most memorable works, as we apply these strategies to our own works. Participants will experience a variety of different strokes and applications of color, as we make space for the absence of color.

Hello, Art enthusiasts! I am a multi-disciplinary artist working in New York City. As a teaching artist, I have been working in Public school in-school residency programs for the past nineteen years(!)...most recently with a concentration in Visual Arts. Many of these partnerships involved very direct coordination with students’ academic teachers, so that the Art projects enriched comprehension. I prioritize recyclable materials, and their environmental importance. I have extensions experience with literacy, and STEM-based residencies, in particular.
Over the past few years I have worked with every age, from early childhood to high school. I have seen first hand, how the affects of arts education through residency partnerships transform and enhance students’ lives. I am often very inspired by the creativity and commitment young students bring to these projects. In addition to Visual Art, I teach music composition, ‘Cello, and Guitar.
I am an alumna of the Juilliard School and the Teaching Artist Project. My supporting teacher experience at the Rudolph Steiner School in Manhattan combines Waldorf ideology with these other skills. I am on the NYC DOE substitute teacher roster. This mixture of public and private practice has prepared me to serve students from a wide range of backgrounds.
I try to incorporate physical balance into art making, often a skill that is considered “inactive”. Over the past two years my mindful Art workshops have been requested by public schools and administrative teams across NYC. I have worked extensively with groups and individuals on the spectrum, and as a Visual Art Consultant for students dealing with trauma.
I am a 2020 Legacy Arts Project recipient, and recently received the New York City Arts in Education Roundtable Teaching Artist Grant.Reviews
