Class Experience

Class  structure will be begin with  teaching about a museum and artist/artwork  in the collection, followed by guided instruction to complete their own artwork.

Students will learn about museums and famous artists around the world and gain confidence in their own creative process in creating artwork using various artistic techniques.

I have a Masters in Art Education and more than 10 years of experience teaching art (Elementary - High School) in a private school setting.   I love to engage students and inspire their natural creative abilities and work together to refine and develop their skill.  Most of my classes on Outschool are tried and true favorite projects from my own students.  I hope yours will love them just as much!
