***If this will be your FIRST CLASS on Outschool, please use my code APRILTA2020, to get $20 off of your first class! In this weekly class, students will learn how to look at what they are drawing with an artist's eye! We will break down each animal into its most basic shapes, in order to "map out" the whole figure before adding details. We will look at relationships for scale and proportion, and also for darks and lights, as we practice different shading techniques. This class is perfect for someone that wants to draw things that LOOK REAL! Each class, I will demonstrate, step by step, how to sketch each animal and add dimension by shading and using different types of line weight. Your learner will get a great sense of space, shape, composition, balance, contrast, and much more. If your child is a perfectionist like me, this is a great place to hone in on their skills and learn that many mistakes are fixable. Great art takes hard work, practice and flexibility. Artist pencils are welcome as I will introduce different hardnesses of pencils, but regular school pencils are sufficient! As always, with all of my classes, I like the atmosphere to be light and fun but also have a level of seriousness to make it a rich learning space.

Hello Outschool community!
I am April Taylor. I live with my amazing family in New York and I have been teaching visual arts on Outschool for 3+ years. I’ve been told I was “born to teach”. On Outschool, I teach art classes for children ages 8 and older. I I have classes in acrylic and watercolor painting, realistic drawing, and clay work. I hold a Bachelors degree in Art Education and a Masters degree in Professional Studies, where I focused on Humanistic and Multicultural Educational practices. I have 18+ years teaching experience in Prek-8 in virtual and in person settings.
As a teacher, I like to keep class fun, upbeat, and flexible. During classes, I encourage balance, in terms of focus and discussion/communicating with myself and classmates. Interaction, open discussion about planning, and ideas/suggestions for their own or other's art is highly valuable, as is, quiet focus and concentration. In every class, I teach using a step by step approach to demonstrate how to do the skills and use the materials. I feel this provides a solid foundation for students to master skills and then put them to practice once they become more confident and independent. I also encourage creativity and encourage students to add or omit elements from their work that make it unique to them. I would much rather have 8 different drawings at the end, than exact replicas of mine! If a child wants to take their project in a different direction, I fully support and encourage them to do so!
When I am not painting and working with clay, I love being out in nature, spending time with my husband, two hockey loving boys, and our dog child.
I look forward to meeting your child and helping them grow their love for art and learning. I hope to see your child in my classes soon!
