**PLEASE NOTE** This is a SELF-PACED class and is PRE-RECORDED. THIS MEANS STUDENTS WILL WATCH THE PRE-RECORDED VIDEO. There are no live meetings. All interactions between students and the teacher will happen on the class page. This class will be presented via pre-recorded instruction videos. Students will upload images of their assignments for the teacher to see and comment on. This is particularly important if a final grade is required for homeschool or charter school credit. Why Self-Paced? *MY Self-Paced classes ALWAYS cost less than the live versions of the same class! *Self-Paced classes are an excellent choice for families with busy schedules. *Content is exactly the same as live classes, at a lower fee. *Students can work at an independent pace. *Self-Paced classes are fantastic for international students whose time zone doesn't match the teacher's (US Mountain Time), *Self-Paced classes are a great alternative for students who are uncomfortable with live video chat. Our Self-Paced format will be as follows: Content: Video demonstration of the process will be posted. Videos will vary in length depending on the type of art being presented. Some may be as short as 10 or 15 minutes while others could be ½ hour or more. Student work is expected to take anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour, depending upon the student’s preferred pace. Drawing Assignments: Students spend time completing their artwork and submit it via the classroom. Submit Assignment: Students are required to post photos of their completed artwork in the classroom on the designated post. Keep in mind, uploading artwork for the teacher to see is important for assessment and feedback. Detailed information regarding the content of each session can be found in the syllabus. Once all assignments have been submitted, parents may request a letter or number grade if needed. Students may also receive a certificate of completion after parent has completed a class evaluation. Instructor's Note: The element PATTERN has been moved back and forth between the elements and principles for many years. One could argue it belongs in both. For the purposes of this project, the element of Pattern will be replacing the element of FORM, which also can belong in both the elements and principles. The rest of the elements of art will remain the same).

Syllabus
2 Lessons
over 2 WeeksLesson 1:
Lines, Geometric and Organic Shapes
We will discuss LINES and SHAPES, focusing on geometric and organic shape, as well different types of lines. We will begin a guided drawing in which a stream of organic and geometric shapes are drawn diagonally across the paper, and then draw lines that outline the sides of the shape, contouring around the paper in concentric fashion. 21 mins of video lessons
Lesson 2:
Colors and Patterns
We will discuss primary, secondary, warm and cool colors, as well as darkness and lightness of colors (value). We will color the geometric shapes with either dark or light colors, and the organic shapes with the opposite. The, after discussing patterns and texture, we will draw patterns on top of the light colors. 26 mins of video lessons

As a licensed art teacher, I have developed techniques for breaking down drawing lessons into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Once we get the basics done, I give my students freedom to complete their project using their own imagination, thereby giving them the opportunity to take what I have taught them to a different, fun and creative level.Reviews
