I have been an art educator for over 25 years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Art Education (K-12) from the University of Central Oklahoma. I have taught in public schools, private schools, as well as homeschool co-op groups and private lessons. I am an Outschool ACE Educator and have been teaching on the Outschool platform since August of 2021.

I am happy to help them incorporate their favorite art mediums to their projects. Additional supplies could include: additional paint brushes, chalk pastels, artist watercolor tape, colored pencils, gouache paint, etc..... **If your learner doesn't have all of the supplies, I'll do my best to work with what you have available. **Cardstock and regular printer paper will not work for this class due to the amount of water we use. **I often get asked what is my favorite brand of watercolor paints for learners; It is PRANG Semi-Moist, tray of 8 or 16. (Amazon)
Learners that are in this class for several weeks are welcome to create a portfolio of their artworks. I suggest a binder with clear plastic sleeves to slide the work into. It's exiting to see the progress made as learners develop new skills and become more confident artists.
45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
