Valentine's Day! Fun Graphic Design Class - Create a Graphic in Canva (Age 8-13)

Hi! 

My name is Risa and I LOVE arts & crafts, singing, painting, and graphic design.  I am a lifelong learner and I'm interested in history, science, and leadership.

I ALWAYS have an arts & crafts project going on.  I am currently creating wearable art by painting beautiful pictures on shirts.  I love to knit, paint, do pottery, make jewelry, and many more creative projects.

I have been a website designer and a graphic artist for the past 20 years.  I've designed dozens of websites and I've designed hundreds - probably almost a thousand - graphics.  I am the owner of several websites, including an e-commerce website, a jewelry information website, and a quote website.

I love working with kids.  My greatest pleasure is seeing the joy that kids get when they are in their creative zone-  where time flies and their creativity is unleashed - and they are excited and inspired.

I have had children in my classes who pay rapt attention for over an hour, who usually cannot sit still much longer than 20 minutes.

My classes are fun, interesting, and full of possibilities.    About 2/3 of the class is spent teaching or demonstrating skills, and the rest of the time is spent on practice, where kids design a graphic on their own and ask questions.

In my science and history classes, the children will apply what is taught by creating storyboards with photos and facts of what we learned.

Using Canva to create graphic designs is a skill that your children will use for the rest of their lives.  There is always a reason to create a graphic - whether it is for a report, an invitation, a poster, a brochure, social media, or creating a graphic for special occasions.

Your kids will LOVE the classes that I teach!
