Class Experience

Hey there, I'm Meg - an artist, designer, and teacher! I'm so excited to share this course with OutSchool families. In this engaging once-a-week course, students will learn about the magic of watercolors, by practicing painting animals that they choose at the start of class. We will share our ideas of animals to sketch together, and paint with watercolors. Over time students will gain confidence in themselves as young artists as they master fun techniques. Students can join along or end attendance to this class at their leisure, but every week will be a great opportunity to share their art skills with our peers. 

No prior experience or knowledge is needed, all skill levels are welcome - there will always be something new to learn!

Learning Goals

Students will broaden their knowledge of watercolor painting - including techniques, tips and tricks, and color blending. Students will be encouraged to think creatively, and teach the teacher if they choose to share their own ideas! They will gain self confidence in themselves and their art, which helps with so many other aspects in life, too. We will also learn more about animals while we study them closely (via images!) to produce creative imagery inspired by them.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
This is a learner-oriented class, where my students will create a list of animals they would like to draw at the beginning of class together.
Supply List
-Watercolor paper
-Watercolors (any kind are okay, crayola's work fine while students are learning about the medium!)
-a jar of clean water
-a few paintbrushes, different sizes if available


We will occasionally practice creating texture with salt on the water - it creates beautiful effects if sprinkled over wet watercolor paint. Table salt works okay sometimes, but I've found that rock salt, or "marg" salt works best. If you don't already have some, this is completely okay! Students will be able to watch the process during my demo and can recreate at another time.

I will send an email if anything else is added to this list!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there! I'm glad you're here. 

I'm Meg! I am located in Northern Utah (USA) and live with two cats, and my Labrador pup. I have 4+ years of teaching experience working directly with children aged 3-6; and recently obtained my masters degree in art & art ed. from the University of Florida. 

First and foremost, I'm here to try to spread some love and support around the world. I'm an artist and an early education teacher, and I'm eager to share the lovely world of art with our youth here on OutSchool! I am excited to inspire my students to create freely and expressively. I believe it's only human to create, and that everyone is an artist - we just need to find our mediums. 

My areas of expertise include: sketching, drawing, illustrating, painting, digital art, collage, abstract art, weaving, sculpting, and building up confidence when it comes to making and creating. I also feel comfortable with general elementary homework help, especially reading. 

Please feel free to send me a message with any questions! I'll respond within 24 hours or less. 
Thanks for checking out my profile here!
