Teacher will explain what the "rule of thirds" is. We will go through multiple examples, including side by side comparison of centered and "rule of thirds" photos. During class, students will be activating the "grid" function on their I pad or cell phone. "Grid" setting can be undone at any time. Toys can be anything! Toys that have a setting (animals, dinosaurs, cars) or that create an action (Barbies, legos) are best. These are to name a few. The only limit is your imagination. I suggest hand held items so, you can easily pose. Avoid electronics game systems, etc. Beware once your photographer takes this class, they will always travel (park, beach, Grandma's) with small toys! Prior Knowledge Required: None Lesson Format: Teacher will present lesson and they will complete assignment on their own (homework). Homework: Students are to create a photograph using the "rule of third" trick showcasing a toy(s). REGULAR CLASS STRUCTURE I will introduce myself and my class expectations. I will ask a silly introduction question and allow each student to answer, so they can practice digitally raising their hand. As they answer, I will verify attendance and age through visual confirmation (as per Outschool policy). The majority of the lesson will be lecture. I will show students the artistic skill. During the demonstration, microphones will be muted to limit background noises. Student are always able to ask questions by raising their hand or ask for a “replay.” Students may raise their hand and talk 1 at a time. Chat box is disabled.
Learning Goals
Student will learn how to:
1. activate the "grid" option on their device
2. learn what the "rule the of third" is
3. apply the "rule of thirds" to toys

Hello and thank you for dropping in. My name is Mrs. H. and I’m excited to join your child’s education team. Whether you’re looking for a full art curriculum or extension on a traditional school program, you’ll find it here.
EDUCATION
I have a bachelor’s degree in Education. My certifications include:
Art (Early Childhood to 12th Grade)
English as a Second Language (Early Childhood to 12th Grade)
Reading, Writing and Social Studies (4th to 8th Grade)
TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)
I’m a true believer that you should never stop learning. As a current TAEA (Texas Art Education Association) conference attendee, I keep up with art topics and digital concepts. This new information ensures that my students are always current and never bored.
EXPERIENCE
I have 14 years in the Texas public system under Conroe & Spring ISD. I’m proud to share that 11 years were in art, where I have created over 1,500 independent artists. I developed and delivered over 100+ lessons in various mediums such as: charcoal, oil pastel, chalk pastel, marker, color pencil, acrylic, watercolor, sculpture, and photography. My lessons are so successful that many art teachers purchase them under my Super Art Name, ARTy-saurus. Many of the lessons will include free ARTy-saurus’ PDF files.
PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is to create an environment in which EVERY child despite language proficiency, experience, learning or physical disability and can be successful. Art is based on a motivational process and can be taught through modeling and hands-on activities.
1. With students being in their own personal space, they will take more artistic risks. My goal is to have students gain confidence and joy that can be transferred to other academic and social areas.
2. Upon sharing and analyzing art, students naturally learn character education such as appreciation, patience, tolerance, and understanding of others.
3. With each lesson, I will sprinkle art vocabulary (elements, principles, and skills). I do this so that the student understands the concept or technique being taught. Why is this important? So A, they can teach others and B they can apply this technique on their OWN. In the art community our goal it to share, model, teach and create independent Picassos.
