During this one-time class students will use their own name to create a new image of an alien creature. They will learn that using a mirror image and changing a position can produce unexpected results and lead to creating new ideas in art. Students will learn what symmetry is and ways to make symmetrical images. Students will learn about the blending abilities of oil pastels and how to use them in order to transfer an image. They will explore oil pastels as coloring tools and learn how to create different textures. There will be multiple options offered on how to make your alien unique and different. Students will be encouraged to add details, blend and layer colors. My teaching style is hands-on and interactive. Students will follow me in a step-by-step drawing with additional comments on how to finish it in their personal way. A game, which is a warm-up to exercise creative thinking is a part of this class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an art teacher with a degree in education from Ukraine. I have been teaching for over 20 years. I used to teach after school art classes for elementary students at local schools and home-schoolers. I write and design my own curriculum and design majority of my art projects that are open-ended and have a lot of room for self-expression, individuality, and innovation. Also, I love exploring new ways of combining art with other disciplines like science and using ordinary art materials in new and unusual ways.
I believe that art and creative thinking are beneficial to everyone. Creative skills are absolutely essential in problem solving and any other area of life -- mathematics, engineering, dancing, design, photography -- the list goes on and on.
I started teaching art classes mostly for my daughter when she was just a preschooler. She is a senior in college now and I have seen how she's grown to apply these creative skills in how she studies, researches, and even how she cooks! I am still teaching art and creative thinking to other children and I love seeing my students' excitement as they discover that the world is open to so many unique possibilities.
I am looking forward to sharing new art ideas with your children and learning theirs as well.Reviews
