This class really benefits students best when there is a lot of classroom participation. Please help your learner to: 1. Submit a photo of their work weekly, by Friday if possible. 2. Via a video or written comments, provide an explanation of their work or process. 3. View other's pictures and write comments/kind reactions for learners to see. 4. Respond to other learner's comments and feedback about their own work. 5. On Wednesdays, check for and respond to weekly teacher questions/prompts and read and respond to other learners responses. 6. My Flex classes are very interactive, particularly because students are free to schedule solo or group meeting with me to chat with others or see a live demonstration if they require more assistance.Experiencia de clase

In a Self Paced class, there are no live meetings. This means your child will receive pre-recorded video lessons they can watch and paint at their own pace on whatever schedule works best! I LOVE seeing student work and look forward to seeing how each student will put their own spin and creativity into their art. If you choose to post your finished paintings, I will offer constructive criticism and kind compliments so students learn ways to improve their skills. CLASS DETAILS AND SUPPLIES: Each video tutorial with be approximately 20-30 minutes long and will include ways for students to personalize or expand on the weekly idea. As with all of my classes, if the student's art work takes a different turn, I fully encourage them to go with it and see where it leads! Creativity and the art process is always more important than the product! All paintings will be demonstrated on very small canvas or canvas paper, approximately 4x6 - 5x7, or similar size in squares. Students may use paper, wood panel, canvas panel, framed canvas, etc. We will use acrylic paints for this course in the following colors: red, yellow, blue, white, black, brown. PAINTING LIST Lesson 1: Sunset with Moon Rising Lesson 2: Mountain Landscape Lesson 3: Night Sky with Tree and Stars Lesson 4: Beach with Palm Tree Silhouette
Metas de aprendizaje
Students will get a great experience using color blending on a small canvas. Students will also work on precision and brush control contributing to building fine motor strength and dexterity.

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!
