Class Experience

In this class we are going tiny!  We will use polymer clay to build a series of tiny homes.

We will use a base to build out sculptures around and fashion unique features to adorn our little creations.  

I will demonstrate how to construct the basic shape of the house in a step by step fashion and then offer a range of ideas to add for details.

Polymer clay will require baking according to the package instructions after class.  During the class I will show many options that can be used after baking if the artist chooses.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University Of Plymouth
Hello!  My name is Katie Chad and I live in Texas.  I received my Bachelor in Education with an Art and Design specialism and Qualified Teacher Status from Plymouth University in England.  I have taught elementary education in Europe, The Middle East and North America.  

My passion is creativity!  Can I find a creative way to teach math?  Is there a way I can spark excitement with poetry?  Can we write a nail biting opening for a story? I love to explore new ideas and new techniques.  

I love sculpture, whether I am using clay, fabric, paints, paper or recycled materials.  I believe that art is a form of self discovery and exploration that is accessible to everyone whatever their experience.

My aim is to provide my students with techniques and ideas as a starting point for their own artistic discoveries.  To provide encouragement and enthusiasm and the knowledge that there is no wrong answer, even happy accidents can result in fantastic creations!

Truth be told, I wish I’d been educated at Hogwarts.  I have loved reading the books with my own children.  We have thrown several elaborate Harry Potter parties at our house.  I have been known to dress up as several of the characters including Professor McGonagall, Trelawney, Dobby and even Hagrid!  We’ve made Marauder’s maps, wands, tiny potion jewelry and our own Mandrakes.

I am so excited to meet and create with your students on Outschool.
