Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 9
Beginner Level
In this class, we will look at the different materials artists use when oil painting and the care of those materials.  Students will have the opportunity to start an oil painting using some of these techniques.  Students will explore how this type of paint differs from others like tempera or acrylic.  They will have the chance to try out these materials to begin to create an oil painting.  We'll specifically focus on color blending using oil paints.  We'll start off with some introductions and a discussion of the various materials.  We'll start painting on canvas, exploring the properties of the paint, and practicing the use of the materials.  Throughout the class, we will discuss our observations and provide feedback and encouragement to each other.  We will end the class by discussing what we learned, answering any additional questions, and celebrating our successes!

As a note, I am happy to teach to single learners and I do not cancel due to low enrollment.

Learning Goals

Students will begin to explore oil painting and learn how to use and care for their paint and tools.

I am a current art teacher and I am interested in how technology and art can be combined to create new artwork.  I teach classes using traditional media like paint and colored pencil, but I've also taught young learners how to use clay, cameras, and computers to create an animation.  We've also created artwork that lights up using a paper circuit and a class on robotics!  I am also interested in theater, history, and science.  I have been an art teacher for 15 years now, having completed a B.S. in art education and a Master of  Arts in teaching with endorsements in art, middle school English, and science.  I believe every student is capable and creative. I think that there's no limit to what a student can do once they are shown the basics and allowed to let their imagination run wild.  I also support all kinds of learners and strive to make my classroom a safe place for everyone to create and feel comfortable sharing their creations with other learners.  I am happy to teach classes with only one learner and don't cancel due to low enrollment.
