Class Experience

In this fun and creative ongoing course students will delve into Art History!
They will learn biographical details of a number of artists and learn about their style of painting.

We will study paintings by looking at images on PowerPoint slides. Then discuss what we like about each art style and learn to show appreciation for what the artist was trying to achieve.
Students will then be taught how to replicate the skills of each artist. For some artists we will study and replicate their work over two weeks. Your student will make an individual piece of art work each week. 

Students will paint their very own artist influenced masterpiece using the skills they have learnt with myself directing them in real time as I paint alongside them. I will encourage each student to put their own personality into their work, and to be proud of what they have achieved.
Students need no prior knowledge before attending this class, and will be supported throughout the lesson as I enthusiastically encourage them to produce their very own masterpiece! I always encourage discussion, although do not insist on it. I strive for each child to feel "at home" in my class. During their time in class students will learn how to use color, shading, shape, shadows and many more artistic skills in their work.

Each class will conclude with an opportunity to show work to others (if a student wishes).

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! 
I am a qualified British teacher living in the U.K. I have taught the 3-11 year old children for over for over 15 years. At present I teach part-time at a local school Here I teach 4-8 year olds Math Mastery and phonics.
My other passion is to teach children about the natural world through drawing and craft.
I am a qualified outdoor educator (Forest School Level 3), and cannot wait to bring the outside into your home. By teaching about the natural world I hope to encourage your child to go out, explore and become passionate about the natural world. Through drawing, natural crafts and stories I would hope to build a connection between your child and the natural world, that will light a spark of love for the outdoors, and will last them a lifetime.
I also love to pass on knowledge about my culture, I am originally from Wales, have lived in Scotland and now live in England... so there will be lots to learn in my lessons about these three countries of the United Kingdom.
I would wish your child to be so inspired by my lessons that they would want to find out more independently about art, nature and different cultures.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
