55 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Learners will use squares of paper (preferably origami paper, but regular paper cut into exact squares will do) to learn very basic origami folds and use them to create up to 5 simple animals: Dog, Bull head, Butterfly, Cat face, and Cobra. Learners will follow step-by-step demonstrations by Mrs. Esther to learn each type of fold: mountain, valley, and reverse, to create each simple animal. The snake is the only animal that requires the reverse fold and it will be the last animal attempted so that learners can become practiced at simpler folds first. Class will be canceled for less than 3 students.

Learners will:
Be motivated to follow directions carefully and precisely.
Be motivated to ask careful and detailed questions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach a broad range of subjects, focusing on my passions of music and art.
I have always enjoyed children, starting with my own four who I home schooled and extending to all my private and public school students. I have taught in one way or another for decades, and am currently on leave from an 8 year career of teaching public school general music.
I believe all students can learn, and that teachers should start where the child is. I do believe a child and his or her parents have a responsibility to apply the instructions given by the teacher, but that the teacher should adjust her approach to teaching based on the student's responses and interests.
Please feel free to message me with questions, class and time requests.
I have two dogs and live in my art studio. I collect tea cups and tea pots!Reviews
