Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Beginner - Intermediate Level
**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 PowerPoint and 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.

This fun class helps students stretch their creativity!

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.

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to create an unusual focal point and perspective in their drawing

Syllabus

2 Lessons
over 2 Weeks
Lesson 1:
Drawing the Keyhole
 Using the provided handout, we will trace a keyhole pattern, draw the lock plate and other door details, and plan the design for the scene on the other side of the keyhole, and outline our drawings with a Sharpie. 
23 mins of video lessons
Lesson 2:
Finishing the Keyhole
 We will outline our final copy drawings with a Sharpie if that hasn't been done before, and then explore coloring and shading techniques with colored pencils, and color our masterpieces! 
23 mins of video lessons

Other Details

Supply List
A keyhole template will be provided prior to the first class for students to cut and trace on their practice and final copy drawings.
Pencils, eraser, pencil sharpener
paper for practice (sketchbook or printer paper work great!)
Black Sharpie (regular fine point)
good quality drawing paper (this might be in a sketchbook or drawing tablet; Strathmore or Canson are my favorites)
Colored pencils

Teacher expertise and credentials
Colorado Teaching Certificate

Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Metropolitan State College of Denver - Degree DOES NOT Expire
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.
