1 horas 10 minutos horas de clase por semanaTarea
1 hora por semana. I do not usually assign homework; however, your child may need a few minutes after our class to finish painting a background area or perhaps add a few details. Occasionally, I may ask students to paint the background on their own. For instance, when we have a 2 part lesson that takes 2 class sessions to complete, we usually draw in the first part and paint in the 2nd part. Sometimes we have time to get our background painting started or completed in the 1st part, too, but if not, it is best to have the background already painted before we paint our bird in the 2nd part of our lesson. Students may also be excited to continue practicing bird drawings or even keep a bird sighting journal independently for fun.Evaluación
There will be no formal assessment; however, we will take the time to hold up our drawings and celebrate and encourage each other's progress several times throughout the drawing process and again at the end of class. I'll watch for opportunities to give more guidance or tips throughout the lesson.Experiencia de clase

In this weekly ongoing class we'll have lots of fun chatting about birds while we create artwork about birds in a realistic style. Most of our lessons focus on a specific type of bird, however, sometimes we also study how to draw bird baths, tree limbs, nests & eggs, and other things in their natural habitat. (When studying backyard birds, we usually include lessons about drawing birdhouses & feeders, too.) We'll also work on a variety of natural body positions for birds throughout our lessons. We create both drawings and paintings in this class. When our final result is a drawing, we usually take only one class to create it. However, when our goal is a painting, we split the lesson into 2 parts. In the 1st part, we draw the bird while chatting about some interesting facts about the bird. Then the following week, we bring our drawing back to class to paint. So although some of our lessons build on the previous lesson, we usually cover about 2 birds each month which makes it easy to jump into our class between birds. (Just send me a message when you get ready to join us and I'll let you know the best spot to jump in.) When painting, sometimes we'll work with watercolors and other times we'll use acrylic paints. Check our classroom page each week to know a couple of days in advance which supplies we will be using so you have time to gather those before your child signs into our class. Occasionally, our lessons take a few minutes longer than expected (depending on the pace of the students) but will general last about an hour and 10-20 minutes. No prior drawing or painting experience needed because I'll lead each child step-by-step through each project and still include options along the way, too. Even though students enjoy talking about their birding experiences, it is not necessary to have seen any specific birds to be successful with these art lessons. Students will show us their drawings or paintings several times during and at the end of our class so we can celebrate and encourage each other's progress and success. This also helps me watch for opportunities to give more guidance or tips throughout the lesson. This is why it is also important for students to leave their cameras on during the class so that I can see their work and give them feedback often throughout our lesson. We've enjoyed our studies of a variety of birds in this ongoing class. During the 2021-2022 school year, we included a lot of backyard song birds & some birds of prey plus a few others that were requested by the students. Summer 2022: Waterfowl Fall 2022: Rainforest Birds including the Macaw, Toucan, Goudian Finch and Green-headed Tanager. Winter 2023: Birds of the North & South Pole (Arctic & Antarctica) including the Snowy Owl, Atlantic Puffin, Tundra Swan, and King Eider Spring 2023: Backyard Birds.

Metas de aprendizaje
Students will learn about the anatomy of a bird as we draw and focus on specific parts as well as some interesting facts about a variety of birds as well as identifying features as they learn how to draw specific birds. They will also learn drawing, shading and textural techniques in drawing and painting mediums and how to create a balanced composition while keeping the bird at the focal point.

Lista de útiles escolares
Most of our classes will be drawing lessons in which we begin with a pencil and then add color as time allows. I've also listed some painting materials because we will occasionally be painting. DRAWING SUPPLIES pencil eraser sharpener paper (sketchbook or drawing paper) coloring tools (crayons, colored pencils or twistables) Tip: Markers can give bold color but are not well-suited for blending and shading possibilities so I do not recommend markers for this class. Optional: Your child may become interested in spotting different species of birds and recording their spottings in a journal but this is not required. PAINTING SUPPLIES for OCCASIONAL WATERCOLOR PAINTING: pencil, eraser, sharpener 9" x 12" Watercolor Paper (or similar size) A set of Watercolor Paints (just a simple set of 12 or 24 colors A few Watercolor Paint Brushes in different sizes Water in an open cup, can or jar Paper Towels Oil Pastels in a variety of colors (be sure they are not the type that can be blended with water--it would say it on the package if it is) Optional Substitution: (If your child does not already have a set of oil pastels, crayons could be used instead.) SUPPLY LIST for OCCASIONAL ACRYLIC PAINTING: ONE 8"x10" White ACRYLIC PAINT SURFACE (See Several Options Below): Stretched Canvas, Canvas Panel/Board, or Acrylic Canvas Paper (What are the differences? . . . Stretched Canvas has primed (coated white) canvas stretched over a wooden frame & stapled to the wood. Canvas Panel/Board feels more solid like the canvas is mounted/glued to a stiff cardboard. Acrylic Canvas Paper is thick, coated paper that is flexible but won't warp and tear as easily as other papers and comes in a pad of multiple sheets.) ACRYLIC PAINTS: (not tempera, not watercolor, not oil) I suggest as least 1 ounce of several different colors including Blue, Red, Yellow, White & Black plus also Green, Orange, Purple & Brown although your child may not choose to use all of the colors. (Thicker acrylic paint in tubes are the best consistency for our painting techniques. If possible, try to avoid using the thinner acrylics in plastic bottles that sound watery when shaken.) PAPER PLATE to use as a paint palette. (Optional to use a plastic paint palette instead or even a disposable pie tin) ACRYLIC PAINT BRUSHES in a variety of sizes. Include a couple of medium size ROUGH Flat Brushes (looks like a square on the tip but bristles are rough and a little prickly to the touch. Also include a couple of very small SMOOTH Acrylic Brushes (1 very small Round brush like a pencil tip shape and 1 slender Flat Square Shape) Please avoid brushes that are flimsy and bend when put under a stream of water. (Those are watercolor brushes instead of acrylic brushes.) WATER in a metal can, plastic cup or glass jar. PAPER TOWELS

I may use "The Audubon Backyard Birdwatcher" or other bird identifying sources as a resource for factual information about birds, however, there is no required book for your child during our classes.
Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura en Educación desde Middle Tennessee State University (Bachelor of Science Degree in Educ: Art K-12 & Elem 1st-8th grades)
Hi, I'm Susan Garrison, a professional artist who also loves teaching kids! I've been drawing & painting all my life and teaching children for the past 3 decades. After earning my BS Degree in Art Education K-12 from Middle Tennessee State University, I've enjoyed teaching children 2D & 3D art lessons at my own art studio, online, and in public and private schools in grades K-12 in Tennessee and South Carolina. One of my specialties has been curriculum development at each of those schools. On weekends, my husband and I even work as a team to DJ weddings and receptions.
I love breaking art projects down into bite-size pieces of simple lines & shapes for children as I lead them through the lesson step-by-step, while still encouraging options along the way so that every piece is unique. Choosing a variety of my classes will help your child develop skills and techniques for creating realistic pieces as well as tap into & build upon the beauty of his or her imagination & creative mind. My class offerings include a variety of styles & use many types of art tools & surfaces. Some classes focus on famous artists & their styles to inspire our artwork. Blending those experiences help form a well-rounded young artist.
I delight in helping children enjoy the whole creative process that leads to a lifetime of creativity and not just the end results of a single painting. A child's imagination is valued greatly and will be encouraged in our lessons.
