In this class I will teach students: - How to create a free form background to express Wizard Houses & discuss balance between main subject and background - How to properly control their paintbrushes for creating smooth and flowing blends - Importance of stroke pattern to create appearance of fabric - The effects of applying different stroke patterns while using the paintbrush - Discuss the benefits of simple and complex color and shape use - Importance of Highlight, Mid-tones, and Shadows - Paintbrush etiquette *Stencil printout available in classroom upon sign up There are times I purposely create a mistake in order to show students how to recover from any painting mistakes that may occur during their artistic journey. I encourage creativity in all of my class, and so no two paintings will be the same!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hullo!
My name is Tabitha, but most kids refer to me as Miss T.
I am looking forward to teaching young people how painting is unique to themselves as individuals, and that life lessons can stem from learning any kind of creative outlet. I personally believe that anyone can create artwork-- it just needs to be cultivated!
I was a studio art teacher for nearly 3 years having taught painting lessons to large groups of children as young as 3 years old to young adults 19+. I understand how to navigate through the discouragement that youths often feel when their art piece does not resemble someone else's that they deem "better," and teach them to see beyond the artwork and look at their own special skills and techniques.
In college I learned that history and science have big part to play in the art world therefore, I enjoy sprinkling "golden nuggets" of grammar and word origins into my art lessons.
In my spare time I think, read classic literature & children's fantasy books, draw & paint, go for walks, and plot novels.
