Do you love to draw? Do you love to color? Do you like making new friends? Do you love Disney Princesses? If your answer “Yes” to all of these, then this is the PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT class for you! This class is taught by a Masters in Art teacher (16 years in the classroom) and designed to be so much fun that your student doesn’t even realize you are “learning”. Your teacher was also a performer for Disney for many years too! In fact, just click the "start" button and go enjoy some alone time for the next 40 to 50 minutes. You've worked hard, let me handle it from here. :) (FLEX OPTION: Some students sign up for this class and do not attend it. They wait until the recorded video of the class comes out - an hour after each lesson - and they do the class on their own time. This allows you to take the class whenever it is best for your schedule.) ------------------------------------------- What to expect in this class: - Start the class with a quick meet and greet - Share time with your new friends. ("What did you did today/this weekend?") - Draw time (super easy step-by-step instructions on how to draw) - Share your drawing with the class (builds confidence. The instructor will correct any mistakes in a positive way.) - Color time. (Your instructor will guide you through ways to color. However, students are free to follow along or color however they choose. It's their picture and we celebrate freedom of creativity and expression in this class.) - Share time (show us your finished photo!) - "Goodbyes" (the sad part...until next week!) --------------------------------------------- What does your child gain from this class: - BUILD CONFIDENCE AND PRIDE (A child's drawing class can give children an extra boost of confidence. When they realize they have the ability to draw, their self-confidence increases in all aspects of their lives. You may have notice 3 share times; this is to get your child talking and communicating with strangers and promoting a positive environment for confidence to grow) - PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS (While children are learning how to draw, they are also learning problem-solving skills. Children who grow up learning to draw become effective problem solvers as adults) - LEARN HOW TO FIX MISTAKES (A child's art class gives your child the fundamentals of drawing, but they also learn how to fix mistakes or look at the picture a new way.) - FINE MOTOR SKILLS (This allows for better handwriting) - HOW TO DRAW AND COLOR (great for being more perceptive while also using shapes and sizes to create beautiful images) - EXPRESS EMOTIONS (children who draw become more empathetic adults. Some children express their emotions through drawing better than they do with words.) - APPRECIATION FOR THE ARTS (Drawing classes not only give children the knowledge to draw better, but they also allow children to be able to understand and appreciate the arts better) - CALMING AND FOCUS (A child's drawing class can be an incredibly calming experience for some children. Many artists believe that drawing is a moving meditation that allows them to work at their own pace and in their own imagination. Children who draw have the ability to escape from the many stressors in life with just a pencil and a paper.) - SOCIAL SKILLS (A child's drawing class can be a great way to increase your child's social skills. Drawing alongside someone else, in person or virtually, is a great bonding experience.) ------------------------------------------- SCHEDULE With 3 years of teaching drawing on OUTSCHOOL and 16 years in the classroom, I have found it the most enjoyable experience that students get a surprise each class. Each class is designed so that new drawing and motor skills are worked on within their photo. ------------------------------------------- WHAT WILL YOU NEED: - blank white paper - pencils (please no pens...we might need to erase things) - eraser - pencil sharpener - colors (markers, crayons, colored pencils, but no paints.) That's all! Easy! Right? I look forward to meeting you and helping your learning draw and color their favorite Disney Princesses! Oh....and boys are welcome too! ---------------------------------------------------------------- #elsa #letitgo # frozen #anna #olaf #kristof #mickey #mickeymouse #minnie #minniemouse #donald #donaldduck #disney #disneydraw #draw #drawing #goofy #genie #aladdin #jasmine #princessjasmine #simba #nala #thelionking #mulan #winniethepooh #tiger #stitch #cinderella #sleepingbeauty #aurora #tiana #princessandthefrog #ariel #ursula #thelittlemermaid #mermaid #tinkerbell #peterpan #woody #buzzlightyear #rapunzel #tangled #moana #pluto #snowwhite #drawingclass #kidsdraw

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Art and Design from The University of Tampa
Hey there! I’m Billy, your child’s creative adventure buddy! Every week, I work to create a fun and supportive space where your child can look forward to learning and growing. I make sure each class is an exciting, safe environment where they can express themselves, make new friends, and build confidence through art.
For over 12 years, I’ve traveled the globe, soaking up vibrant cultures and creative experiences. I’m currently living in Egypt, where I’ve been for 7 years, teaching and inspiring young minds from all over the world.
With 30+ years of experience as an actor, singer, director, and choreographer, I’ve had the chance to teach the kids of movie stars! But my heart belongs to helping kids express themselves through drawing.
I’ve had the privilege of studying animation and storytelling with some of the best in the business—Disney, Nickelodeon, and DreamWorks. Through internships and collaborations, I’ve learned the magic of creating characters, telling stories, and designing visually compelling art, and I bring those lessons into my classes, helping students unlock their own creativity.
I’ve proudly taught on Outschool for over 4 years, and I’m honored to be recognized as a top teaching contributor. My classes blend artistic skills with storytelling, turning each lesson into an adventure. My students have gone on to shine on Broadway, star in TV shows, and become amazing artists themselves!
I hold a Bachelor’s in Performing Arts/Dance and a Master’s in Education. My teaching philosophy? Spark imagination, make learning fun, and encourage kids to grow in confidence and creativity.
I’m so proud of my students and can’t wait to bring that same energy to your child’s creative journey! Let’s explore the world of art together as part of the OUTSCHOOL family!
