Through looking at and discussing various artwork, we will learn about basic symmetry in art. We will identify symmetry in a selection of artwork. We will practice and expriement with drawing a variety of lines and shapes in our first Two Hands, Two Pens exercise. Using what we learn, we will draw a crazy creature or wild thing. As we expand our skills we will progress to drawings of other topics inspired by student interests. Our final drawing will be a city or landscape reflected in water. This drawing is especially tricky since we draw it rotated sideways from the final direction of display.
Learning Goals
Students will learn:
*The definition of "symmetry"
*How to identify symmetry in artwork
*How to create artwork using both their hands at once using a pen in each hand
*How to use symmetry in their artwork

During art classes, we will explore a variety of art skills using a variety of mediums. We will also learn about artists and their artwork. As a curious life-long learner I weave science, social studies, math, and cultural connections into art classes. Most importantly, I encourage students to include information related to their interests and passions into their artwork.
I am a K-12 licenced art teacher, with a Masters in Art Education. I have experience and enjoy working with students of all ages! Most recently, I taught art for seven years in a Title One school which hosts a Dual Language Spanish Immersion program. I have also taught after-school and summer camp art classes for both my local community arts center and science enrichment classes for WonderLab, my local museum of science, health, and technology. I have taught in a variety of volunteer capacities in home, school, scouting, and church settings. In addition, I have mentored teenage cadet students and camp interns as they begin their journey as teachers.
As a fiber artist, my main medium is Art Quilting. I also love fabric dyeing and surface design, knitting, drawing with pencil and micron pen, hand-building with clay, and exploring many other media. I find inspiration for much of my artwork in daily routines, my family, nature, my travels, and other artists and their artwork. When I’m not teaching or creating art, you may find me walking, biking, gardening, or playing games with my family and friends.
