Class Experience

During this upbeat and exciting ongoing class, learners will learn about working with chalk pastels and they are going to discover how amazing this material is. Chalk pastel has lots of variation specially on black paper, so we will find out how to rub chalk pastel with different objects. I emphasize process over product, and we'll be doing a lot of experimentation. We will demonstrate techniques for students to practice in class and most of their artwork will be completely self-generated. We focus on personal creativity and no interference is made by me to the children's artworks. Class atmosphere is a kind of gaming and playing with colors and is so much fun.
This class does not require any prior painting knowledge and experience and it is made for beginners interested in arts.
Feel free to request for different class timing if needed.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I am an experienced and educated Artist and teacher from Irvine, California. I have been teaching art since 2016 to children and adults with a wide range of ages from 3 years to 70 years old in individual and group classes. I have been painting for 10 years and have created so many paintings based on modern and real styles. My method of teaching is based on learner’s innovation and by developing talent and personal creativity. The class approach is focused on personal creativity and no intervention is done by me on the method of drawing art works and the learners are only guided through the best way according to their talent so the output of each learner is unique to themselves. I’m interested and experienced in the grounds of painting, drawing, handcrafts, photography and pottery and I love painting with children.
