Through this class, I will be teaching the arts elements and principles of design and will assign projects, as well as demonstrate new and recurring concepts/skills through each project! I will work to teach skills and techniques with a multitude of medias, such as graphite, pen, charcoal, watercolor, acrylic, chalk pastels, wire, plaster gauze and potentially more over the course of many weeks. Students will be given a say on which projects and medias they will like to work with and will be given the opportunity to choose subject matter that is meaningful to them and that they would like to improve upon. Discussions and critiques will also take place, much like a normal art class, to help the individual students grow as artists. This class will be a positive atmosphere and will give the students opportunities to interact with the other learners, as well as with me. I work hard to challenge my students' way of thinking when approaching art as well as challenge them in order to achieve amazing artistic improvements. While doing this, I also like to help students develop a growth mindset, instead of a fixed mindset in order to avoid frustrations. We will try many different processes in this course to give your child an idea of the many ways to do art and to help them find a process that best suites them. This is a great class for young artists that are looking to develop their unique skills astronomically. The only requirement is to have an interest in art! Projects - Face dimensions and portrait class - full-body proportions - sculpey project - charcoal additive process - charcoal subtractive process - watercolor project - original character project - still-life observation drawing - plaster gauze project.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Dear Families,
I have loved and cherished art for my entire life and my hope is that I may be able to ignite or strengthen this love for art within my students. I want to extend to you and your child my warmest welcome into my virtual classroom.
My philosophy for learning in the art room revolves around differentiating instruction for each student’s individual needs. Coming together into the classroom, we each bring with us our goals, desires, our histories, our struggles, and our joys. Art allows us to express these aspects about ourselves and I believe it is important to do so. Through each of our projects, I will work with every individual learner to adjust the parameters to their interests and skill set while challenging them to always push forward.
Through my virtual classroom, I will be teaching art classes in painting, drawing, and even some sculpture for all ages and for all creative minds! We will work with a wide variety of materials, techniques, and analytical thought processes in each of my classes.
Through my undergraduate career, I received a BFA in Studio Art with an emphasis in Sculpture and a BSE in K-12 Art Education, both in the spring of 2023. Beginning in the Fall of 2023, I will be pursuing a Master's in Fine Art in the highly ranked MFA program at Arizona State University. I have been teaching on Outschool since May of 2020 and have assisted artists in residence and students at the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center in Vermont during their summer 2022 stone carving workshops. I have created and sold a wide variety of artwork professionally, such as drawings, paintings, and sculptures, and have exhibited in a variety of art galleries. I am highly passionate about art and I strongly believe that when doing artwork, you are building a relationship with your materials and the creation itself. Throughout my time doing and practicing artwork, I have learned that art is a powerful force that can be meditative and help connect you with yourself and the values you carry.
With all this being said, I am happy to receive any comments, questions, or concerns through Outschool messaging. I look forward to working with your child and supporting them in every step of the process through their artistic endeavors!
Sincerely,
Amelia LaChanceReviews
