In this 3 day summer camp, I will be working with your young artist to teach them the ins and outs of effective techniques and approaches for still life drawing. While each of the demonstrations will instruct the class as a whole, students will be challenged and provided feedback and extra tips and tricks through individualized check-ins, in which I will access and cater to each young artist's needs and goals. To begin the class, learners will get to pick from a large array of reference photos I will provide them to find the one that inspires them the most! For the first class, we will spend time learning techniques to aid learners in developing a better understanding of how to create accurate proportions within a still life drawing. Students will have a chance to finish up their line drawing in the second class if need be. For the second and third class, we will work on learning to approach shading in an analytical way in which we will consider how the viewers eye responds to the piece. If students do not finish the project by the end of the third class, students are welcome to correspond with me over Outschool messaging to receive feedback and tips until they are finished with their drawing.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Dear Families,
I have loved and cherished art for my entire life and my hope is that I may be able to ignite or strengthen this love for art within my students. I want to extend to you and your child my warmest welcome into my virtual classroom.
My philosophy for learning in the art room revolves around differentiating instruction for each student’s individual needs. Coming together into the classroom, we each bring with us our goals, desires, our histories, our struggles, and our joys. Art allows us to express these aspects about ourselves and I believe it is important to do so. Through each of our projects, I will work with every individual learner to adjust the parameters to their interests and skill set while challenging them to always push forward.
Through my virtual classroom, I will be teaching art classes in painting, drawing, and even some sculpture for all ages and for all creative minds! We will work with a wide variety of materials, techniques, and analytical thought processes in each of my classes.
Through my undergraduate career, I received a BFA in Studio Art with an emphasis in Sculpture and a BSE in K-12 Art Education, both in the spring of 2023. Beginning in the Fall of 2023, I will be pursuing a Master's in Fine Art in the highly ranked MFA program at Arizona State University. I have been teaching on Outschool since May of 2020 and have assisted artists in residence and students at the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center in Vermont during their summer 2022 stone carving workshops. I have created and sold a wide variety of artwork professionally, such as drawings, paintings, and sculptures, and have exhibited in a variety of art galleries. I am highly passionate about art and I strongly believe that when doing artwork, you are building a relationship with your materials and the creation itself. Throughout my time doing and practicing artwork, I have learned that art is a powerful force that can be meditative and help connect you with yourself and the values you carry.
With all this being said, I am happy to receive any comments, questions, or concerns through Outschool messaging. I look forward to working with your child and supporting them in every step of the process through their artistic endeavors!
Sincerely,
Amelia LaChance
