Music brings colors, emotions and images to the forefront of our minds. In this class the student will listen to acoustic music and create art by using four different kind of techniques. We will do the following art techniques 1. Recycled paper collages 2. Drawing with crayons 3. Water color paintings 4. Black and white doodling using a pen or sharpie. Each class will follow the same schedule. 5-10 minutes introduction when I go over the techniques used and how it works. 15-20 minutes listening to music and creating. 5 minutes clean up and hand washing. 10 minutes where the students can show their art and tell the class how they created it or what it is showing. The music in class will come from Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, Brahms, Vivaldi and Georg Riedle. I will also include some klezmer music and native music from Australia. There will be a playlist on Spotify with all songs used in the class. To hear the music the best I suggest the student use headphones. For class 1 the students need 2 papers, newspapers, advertising or other paper and glue. To prepare for class the student can cut or rip the paper into smaller pieces. This can help a younger student get the most out of class. For class 2 the students need 2 papers and crayons in different colors. For class 3 the student needs 2 papers taped together into one bigger. Water, brushes and watercolors. For class 4 the student needs 1 paper and a black pen or sharpie with a thin tip.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My teaching philosophy is deeply rooted in personal experience. Growing up with dysgraphia, I encountered teachers who left me feeling uncomfortable, insecure, and inadequate. Those experiences shaped my commitment to creating an environment where every student feels welcome, confident, and supported. My goal is to build students up, ensuring they leave my classes with both knowledge and self-assurance.
As a teacher, I bring a wide array of subjects to life in my classes, ranging from creative writing and Swedish (my native language) to world religions, the Holocaust, and novel studies with a focus on folklore. Each subject reflects my passions and areas of expertise, offering students a rich and dynamic learning experience.
With a master’s degree in education and a double major in social and political science and world religions, my professional background equips me to guide students through diverse and complex topics. Having taught across various age groups in Sweden and now the USA, I also incorporate the principles of student democracy, encouraging students to take an active role in shaping their own learning journey.
On a personal note, I’ve always had a vivid imagination—perhaps a result of my Nordic upbringing. As a child in Sweden, I was fascinated yet terrified by the stories of fairies that pervade our folklore. Now, as an immigrant in the USA, I weave that sense of wonder into my own creative works, which have earned me awards for poetry and short stories.Reviews
