In the 2 week (6 sessions) sketching class, basic skills and techniques will be taught to students that will help them to develop their skills and sketch better. They will learn to draw free hand straight lines, hand movement for better sketching, curves, 3D basic forms, simple shapes and how to recognize anything that we look at as simple shapes so it can be drawn easily. It’s a very fun and interactive class where students are amazed at their own learning progress and the simplistic approach of sketching. As a teacher, I strive to instill the love of learning in my students so that they can be learners of life! Week Topic Week 1 Exploring lines, curves and shading, simple shapes and 3D forms Week 2 Object sketching, simple nose and eyes sketches Students will be expected to practice and give time to improve and build on their skills. The more they will commit to it the better they will get. **The class will be canceled if a minimum of 6 students do not enroll.

Teacher expertise and credentials
How and What I teach:
I believe in artistic individuality and help students find their own voice through the creative process. And classes with me will be an interactive learning experience where sharing opinions and feedbacks will be important and integral part. I truly believe in imparting the love and curiosity of learning.
Have you ever seen watercolor art and been mesmerized by it? Did you give watercolors a try but was intimidated by it? What if you can learn it and use it to create art that can enchant your friends and family! Come dive into the ocean of watercolors where I will help you fall in love with it! Each class that I teach begins with an introduction to the topic. A reference image will be shown for guidance and taught step by step. This is a classical way of learning art for beginners and has been used for centuries.
Sketching , optical illusions and 3D art is my another favorite area that I spark magic with and teach my students to do the same. Pencil erasers and paper is all you need to give shape a form and imagination to run wild.
A bit about me:
I was always an artist and a storyteller who got educated to become an Engineer. I have worked as a water resources Engineer for 4 years but the calling in me to serve the young or the old pulled me to different pursuits.
So, I went on to volunteer at preschools, teaching young beings to incorporate healthy living through art and stories. I mentored abused women and helped with curriculum making for the organization. I became a certified wellness coach, self published five story books for children, worked as a professional photographer and part time art and after school activity teacher.
I find watercolors magical and soothing not only to release stress or as a medium to express but the pigments, colors, water, brushes all together create an enchanting land where if you let go and trust your intuition with a little guidance, you will see magic happening!
As an art and wellness coach, I have taught age group of 3 -18 and adults. From volunteering to teaching at studios and schools, to running summer camps for 8 week straight, I have experience with all mindset of children and adults. And we all are unique hence I completely believe in making learning unique to all my students, as much as I can.
Continuing with teaching, the pandemic of 2020 challenged me to adapt to online teaching and I have had a successful art teaching experience since summer of 2020. And online art courses are my offerings to continue spreading the love for watercolors especially.
I like to think of myself as a student of life and hence I have an open mindset even while I teach as its an energy flow and my students always have something to teach me as well.
