This is a fun, one-time class for learners to practice blending oil pastels and create a beautiful piece of artwork! We will first take a quick look at some famous flower paintings, especially Georgia O'Keeffe's famous Red Poppies and Light Irises....and then we will draw and color our own! The main focus of this class is to learn an easy oil pastel blending technique that produces really impressive, bold, saturated color, every time. Learners will leave class with one-of-a-kind flower art piece that will make a perfect decoration, card, or Mother's Day gift!
Learning Goals
Students will get to know some famous Georgia O'Keeffe flower paintings, practice drawing a close-up flower, and learn to blend oil pastels in a fun and easy way that produces great results.
Other Details
Supply List
Mixed media or art paper (even copy paper will work!) Oil pastels, including a shade of yellow, a shade of brown, and colors of your learner's choosing for the petals. The blending technique works best with various shades of the same color, for example, a light pink, a medium pink, and a darker pink or red...but I'm always happy to work with whatever supplies learners bring to class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I'm Nicole, and I'm thrilled to be your child's guide to the beautiful world of discovering new things. My teaching style is warm, lively, and nurturing, creating a safe and engaging environment where every student can thrive. Over the years, I've been honored to develop deep relationships with my students. Some have gone from hating art to winning art awards and aspiring to become artists. I'm proud that many neurodivergent students who originally disliked learning now eagerly look forward to my classes each week.
I bring a diverse background to my teaching. As a lawyer and current stay-at-home homeschool teacher and co-op educator for other homeschooled students, I have a unique perspective on education. I graduated from college in just 10 months at the age of 19 and became Michigan's Attorney General Office's "Rookie of the Year" attorney at 22. My own fast-paced educational journey fueled my passion for helping students gain confidence in learning, understanding our world, and discovering their own unique abilities and callings within it.
In my classes, I strive to make learning an exciting adventure. I use interactive presentations and creative art projects to bring subjects to life, ensuring that every student feels valued and inspired. I'm passionate about helping students come alive with confidence in their learning journey, and I can't wait to embark on this educational and artistic adventure with your family!
