In this class we'll create a bouquet of flowers using watercolor paints and pen/sharpie. Students will be introduced to the concept and technique of underpainting then work on finishing their artwork by learning how to sketch flowers in a doodle-like manner. Class is taught through a guided-demonstration, where students watch the teacher then complete the step(s) on their own paper. Class will begin with a discussion about flowers and then we will work on making our artwork. Students are encouraged to create their own compositions and color combinations to make a truly unique artwork. Students may ask questions as needed throughout the lesson. At the end of class, students are encouraged to share their artwork with the group. *No prior knowledge is required for this class.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to make their artwork layered to give it extra visual interest and depth by using the technique of underpainting mixed with drawing.

Hello parents and students!
I love to use a variety of media to keep the creating process fun and exciting. Some of the media we will use are: pencils, markers, crayons, colored pencils, oil and chalk pastels, acrylic paint, watercolors, pen, and more!
I graduated in 2014 from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a BSED in Art Education and a Dance Minor in Choreography. I have experience teaching every grade level from Pre-K through 12th grade in both Kansas and Texas. Some of the courses I have taught are: Elementary Art, Drawing and Painting, Sculpture and Ceramics, and also Intro to Art. This is my 8th year teaching art in a public school setting.
Scaffolding the necessary skills for learning art such as problem-solving, collaborating, and self-reflecting are woven intricately into my teaching. When producing my own artwork, I often find inspiration in flowers/nature.
I also have two large Newfoundland dogs (Bruin & Orso) and love to take them for walks when I am not busy teaching. You might even see them say "Hello!" during a class or two! I look forward to seeing you in my classroom!
