Class Experience

Welcome back! During "Start With Art!", the goal was to build a positive mindset and be introduced to basic art principles. This helped you gain skills and confidence. In "Start With Art! II", we put your skills to more use with lots of studio time to create some of your own short-term projects. We also viewed and created reproductions of some artwork from famous artists. 

In this course, the art class will grow your organization and planning skills while giving you plenty of time and practice honing your artistic skills! You will be reviewing basic concepts through practice. For weeks 1 through 4, you will be working on a single drawing project. You will keep working and making it better and better. For weeks 5 through 8, you will be working on a single painting project and keep working on it until it is just the way you want it. I know you have what it takes to make some really great work!
In Week 9, we will have a presentation day. Learners will showcase their finished drawing and painting. 

This is a more advanced course that requires planning and focus, so I highly recommend taking the first 2 courses or having some prior artistic background and desire to work on long-term goals. 

The course schedule is listed here:

Week 1: Introductions and Drawing 
We review the class goals and set-up. Learners will choose a drawing project this class and begin their work with my guidance and help.

Week 2: Drawing
Learners will continue their drawing project. I will review any related concepts. They will have my guidance and help.

Week 3: Drawing 
Learners will continue their drawing project. I will review any related concepts. They will have my guidance and help.

Week 4: Final Drawing Day
Learners will finish their drawings on this day. I will review anything needed and help them with finishing drawings.

Week 5: Painting
I will review some painting basics, and learners will set-up materials, choose a project, and start work. This will require long-term planning to decide what parts of the painting to paint each day.

Week 6: Painting
Learners will continue their paintings with help and guidance from me. 

Week 7: Painting
Learners will continue their paintings with help and guidance from me.

Week 8: Final Painting Day
Learners will finish their paintings on this day. I will review anything needed and help them with finishing the paintings. 

Week 9: Presentation: “Big Show and Tell” 
This is the return of our presentations from earlier classes! We will have a "big show and tell" day to show the work we created in the course and celebrating the progress we have made.

Learning Goals

Students who have completed Start With Art! and Start With Art! II will now have the chance to work on honing technical skills learned in earlier classes by working on sustained projects. We will practice planning and focus to complete 2 large projects over the 9 weeks.

Hello! Welcome to my profile, and thank you for considering me to become your child's teacher. I have earned my BA in Child and Family Studies with a concentration in Child Development. My coursework includes early childhood classrooms, exceptional children, and Reggio-inspired education. I love encouraging children, empowering them to learn at their own pace, and celebrating what is unique about each child! I have taught in 3 different school settings, including a Reggio-inspired center and a nature-based school. 

Additionally, I am a practicing artist with a love of painting, drawing, and nurturing the creativity in others! Whether you enroll your child in my Reggio-inspired, art, nature-based, or social and hobby courses, I am excited to play a role in furthering your child's education.
