I enjoy teaching a weekly, ongoing art class for many reasons. I love being able to see same students each week to really connect and watch them grow as an artist. It is also amazing to watch the students become friends with other learners and build their own sense of community by connecting with the same students each week. In this weekly art class artists will be using different types of art mediums to create awesome art projects! This summer we will complete a project a week so this means you can come and go as your schedule allows. This is a great type of class to join for creating art and to be able to socialize with the same learners each week. We will be creating art with paint, watercolors, oil and chalk pastels and creating recycled art. If an upcoming project needs a special supply I will notify you in advance so you have plenty of time to gather what might be needed. However, for most of the art projects we will be using the same variety of supplies. We will talk about color mixing, elements of art like color, line and shape as well as covering different famous artists and their works of art. *In my classes I love to dedicate the first few minutes to visiting as a class. If your learner is more comfortable using the chat box, then that’s perfect too! We will use both! I like how this sets the tone for our time together, helping those that might be a little nervous or new to virtual learning. It helps create that supportive and welcoming space to create.
Learning Goals
Each week depending on the project we will have opportunities to discuss the elements of art, learn about a famous artist and their unique style of art, as well as leaning different art techniques along the way.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! My name is Kristi! I am a homeschool teacher and an art teacher in Texas! I have 2 children that are in 11th & 7th grade this next year! I absolutely love being involved in my kids education!
I am the owner of Wolf Circus Art Studio and Evolve Volleyball Club. I teach art classes for Pre-K to 6th grade, host art parties, teach macrame, and make pottery. I have been teaching art lessons for over 10 years and I love connecting with children through art! I have experience teaching lessons in a private art studio setting as well as summer camps and online.
I also am the Art & Crafts Director for a non-profit called Salute the Kids. Salute the Kids is a charity that supports military children and families through camping adventures. I create and teach all of the arts and crafts projects and host a family art night at camp. Working with military children is such a gift.
I am so excited to be here on Outschool with the opportunity to teach, connect, and create some really cool art with your artist! I most certainly know I will learn and be inspired by them as well!
When I am not teaching you can find me hanging out with my family, making pottery, playing volleyball, taking care of my cacti, or trying to talk my husband into rescuing another Chihuahua. You can never have too many Chihuahuas ;) I have 5 now!
Hope to see you in class!!
Mrs. Kristi
