Class Experience

In this 4 week flexible schedule class we will learn about 4 different Pop artists (Yayoi Kusama, Henri Matisse, Hokusai, and Pablo Picasso) and create art pieces that are inspired by their work. We will talk about their genre of art, create pieces to be proud of, and learn about the artists through interactive games and trivia. 

Learners will post pictures and/or video of their work (and their works in progress) on the classroom page so that fellow learners and the teacher can give feedback and encouragement on their pieces. It will be uplifting and helpful to the students and peer feedback will be fun! 
Students will also engage with each other with interactive online games, fun trivia and games about the artists we will be talking about each week!  
Here are the highlights for each week! 

Week 1 - Yayoi Kusama - We will talk about color, composition, creativity, and also the proper use of materials and clean up. The students will be able to create their art based on her fun dot art painting. They will post pictures of their work on the classroom page so that we can give feedback and encouragement to each learner. 

Week 2 - Henri Matisse - We will talk a little about Matisse life and his style of art (Fauvism). We'll look at his painting Olive Trees and create a colorful piece inspired by this work. We will have some fun facts and online interaction during the week. 

Week 3 - Hokusai- We will have fun exploring the artist and printmaker Hokusai.  We will re-create his beautiful print of Mt. Fuji with cherry blossoms using crayon and watercolor and students will have fun adding their own creativity to their piece if they would like. We will have fun with some interaction and also with art pieces posted by the students.

Week 4 - Pablo Picasso- During this week we will look at the artist Pablo Picasso. We will discuss his life and his experience as a founder of the Cubism movement. We will re-create one of his pieces using watercolor and crayon. We will do some puzzles related to this artist and the era.

The classes will be step by step allowing time for each learner to create their piece and be proud of what they create. The videos will be clear and provide at least 2 angles.

No experience is needed, but some parental help could be needed with the painting parts if the student is younger. 

Please look at the supplies list for everything needed for these lessons! 
Each learner will need: 
- A watercolor set 
- A brush (any size will do) 
- A cup with water to clean the brush
- Black permanent marker (Sharpie or similar)
- Set of crayons (or oil pastels)
- Heavy white paper (watercolor paper is preferred but not completely necessary) 
- Table protection (newspaper, butcher paper etc). 
- Smock or old t-shirt to keep the paints off of your child's clothing

I am excited to join Outschool as an art teacher! I LOVE art! 
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art from the University of Central Florida with a concentration in painting. I have been teaching private art lessons for 25 years and have been teaching in the classroom for 19 years. I have taught pre school age through High School AP Drawing and AP 2D Design and everything in between. 
I have 3 kids (ages 24, 22 and 13) and live in Orlando, Florida where I enjoy photography and streetpainting (chalk art) in my down time. I am a member of the Central Florida Chalk Artists Association and enjoy doing chalk art for events and non-profits. My daughter and I were actually featured on our local TV station back in April which was a lot of fun! 
I love teaching students the art skills to be successful! I love to see students who think they can’t draw or paint find success and love what they created and be proud of it! 
I like to engage students at their level and help them feel comfortable being creative, have a great time, learn about art even if they don’t realize they are learning along the way.  I love to see the AHA moments they have when they create something they thought might be unachievable. 
I think that students thrive when they start where they are and have lots of encouragement along the way! I am excited to be able to bring this to students around the country and the world!
