In this art camp, students will learn and practice their weaving skills. We will work on improving our fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, and concentration while using yarn to create art pieces. This camp is perfect for anyone looking to try out something new and a fun break from your typical pencil/paper art classes! Class is taught through guided-demonstrations, where students observe the teacher then complete the step(s) on their own. Students will practice tying knots and weave structures over the course of 3 classes. Students may ask questions as needed. At the end of class, students are encouraged to share their pieces of art with the class. *No prior knowledge is required. Day 1: God's Eye : Become familiar with tying a square knot, learn the weave structure of over, over, under. Day 2: Coaster/Wall Hanging: Review/practice square knots, create a reusable loom with a paper plate, learn the weave structure of over, under. Day 3: Bookmark/Bracelet: Review/practice square knots, use straws to create a loom, continue use of over & under weave structure. ***Supply suggestion!*** I LOVE to buy skeins of yarn that are tie-dyed, craft stores generally have these available. This eliminates having to tie multiple pieces together to change colors while weaving and is wonderful for beginners. Cannot recommend this enough!!

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!
