The fundamentals of two-point perspective will be introduced and taught in this class. Students will discover how to create 3-Dimensional effects by utilizing perspective and the element of value in their drawings. Students will be taught through guided-demonstrations, where they'll observe the teacher then complete the step(s) on their own papers. Students will have the opportunity to draw completely in gray-scale or add color after sketching, examples will be shown at the beginning of class. Students have the creative freedom to add any details they would like to their treehouses (a deck, second story, tire swing, mailbox, flower garden/window boxes, etc...The possibilities are endless!) Students may ask questions as needed throughout class. At the end of the lesson, students are encouraged to share their artwork with the class. *No prior knowledge/experience is required!
Learning Goals
Students will explore two-point perspective through the use of several vanishing points. Students will also work on improving their fine-motor skills with the use of value throughout their artwork.

Hello parents and students!
I love to use a variety of media to keep the creating process fun and exciting. Some of the media we will use are: pencils, markers, crayons, colored pencils, oil and chalk pastels, acrylic paint, watercolors, pen, and more!
I graduated in 2014 from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a BSED in Art Education and a Dance Minor in Choreography. I have experience teaching every grade level from Pre-K through 12th grade in both Kansas and Texas. Some of the courses I have taught are: Elementary Art, Drawing and Painting, Sculpture and Ceramics, and also Intro to Art. This is my 8th year teaching art in a public school setting.
Scaffolding the necessary skills for learning art such as problem-solving, collaborating, and self-reflecting are woven intricately into my teaching. When producing my own artwork, I often find inspiration in flowers/nature.
I also have two large Newfoundland dogs (Bruin & Orso) and love to take them for walks when I am not busy teaching. You might even see them say "Hello!" during a class or two! I look forward to seeing you in my classroom!
