The Basics of Drawing will cover basic drawing technique through the use of drawing pencils and colored pencils. Week 1: The study of line and shape Week 2: The study of shading Week 3: The study of symmetry Week 4: The study of abstract art Week 5: The study of realism Class will begin with an interactive discussion about the days topic and will be followed by hands on experimentation of the subject and technique. The class will be taught through discussion and observation. Examples will be given to help give learners a "springboard" to dive into their art. And positive feedback will be given to help progress their art journey, into the future. Learners will be asked to think and answer questions about that days topics (such as, "What is an example of line?"). At the end of the class everyone will share their drawings with the class, if they feel comfortable doing so. No prior experience or knowledge is needed. Just an open mind and the desire to be creative and to learn. Note to parents: The Monday morning section will be 55 minutes instead of 60 minutes. We will still cover just as much material as the 60 minute sections.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach art and ballet classes. My background includes Bachelor Degrees in Art Studio and Accounting, as well as Advanced teaching certification in the Cecchetti Method of ballet through the Cecchetti Council of America. My official accreditation with the CCA if Fellow of the Cecchetti Council of America (FCCA)
I have taught, and continue to teach, ballet at National Ballet Institute for the Arts since 1996. At NBIA I have taught children as young as 3 all the way through adults. I have presented both children and teacher's for their Cecchetti ballet certifications. While teaching at NBIA I have guest taught at many studios throughout Maryland and Virginia and continue to teach at the local community center one day a week.
At National Ballet Institute for the Arts my studies included ballet, modern dance, Ukranian dance, Scottish Highland dance, and other forms of character dance. My performance experience includes The Nutcracker, Giselle, Coppelia, The Tales of Beatrix Potter and more!
Additionally, I have been a professional artist since 1999, selling art locally and online. This has led to multiple teaching and exhibition opportunities. Teaching experience has included after school arts programs at the local elementary school, art programs at The Creative and Performing Arts of South County, and independent pop up classes.
Currently, I am LOVING teaching my students on Outschool!
Off of Outschool I am a founding member of The Creative and Performing Arts of South County, an arts center in Maryland and a board member of the Cecchetti Institute (a historical institute for preserving the work of Enrico Cecchetti). I am also a homeschooling mom, finishing up our 9th year!
I believe that learning is fun, the more you learn the more exciting life becomes!
