Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is Samantha. I love to teach unique art classes that teach children about art technique through creative learning. I teach dinosaur drawing classes using shapes and sounds, graffiti drawing classes, various mixed media classes, and oil painting! I also like to incorporate music into my classes.
In 2010 I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. I have taught kids ages 4-10 for ten years. I was a lead art instructor for children’s classes in school and at various art centers in New York. In these classes I constructed curricula to teach printmaking, sculpture with clay miniatures, and various painting and drawing classes. I have also taught various mural painting workshops for children in Spain.
My classes are about learning art techniques through creative play. I like to engage my students by starting with a game or a song. I structure my classes with a specific plan to keep students engaged. It is important for me to let them explore their own creative painting and drawing techniques through making art. I also have a virtual art show to share what we have made!
I have my own radio show about art!Reviews
