Class Experience

Learners will discover great artists through a brief history and biography about a different artist each week. After learning about the artist and seeing some examples of their artwork, students will spend the rest of class creating their own artwork.  

Class will begin with introductions and any information students are excited to share. Then we will dive into our new artist, and finally create our own artwork based on the artist, either as a replica of a piece of art or by creating in the artists style. 

I am very interactive in my teaching style, always open to questions and love the curiosity and creativity of my students. 

Learner's do not need any prior experience or knowledge and students may join the class at any time.

Learners are welcome to begin drawing while I am giving the presentation, if they see a piece of artwork that catches their attention right away. Depending on the artist the presentation may take half of class or more, this is also dependent upon how interactive the students are and how many questions they have (I love questions! Feel free to ask questions!). I do not expect the students to finish their art during class. Some will and some will not, this will also be partly dependent upon the length of that days presentation. If they do not finish during class I do encourage learners to share in our classroom or at the beginning of the next class. 

Artists schedule is as follows:

02/10/2025 Piet Mondrian
02/17/2025 NO CLASS

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach art and ballet classes. My background includes Bachelor Degrees in Art Studio and Accounting, as well as Advanced teaching certification in the Cecchetti Method of ballet through the Cecchetti Council of America. My official accreditation with the CCA if Fellow of the Cecchetti Council of America (FCCA)

I have taught, and continue to teach, ballet at National Ballet Institute for the Arts since 1996. At NBIA I have taught children as young as 3 all the way through adults. I have presented both children and teacher's for their Cecchetti ballet certifications. While teaching at NBIA I have guest taught at many studios throughout Maryland and Virginia and continue to teach at the local community center one day a week. 

At National Ballet Institute for the Arts my studies included ballet, modern dance, Ukranian dance, Scottish Highland dance, and other forms of character dance. My performance experience includes The Nutcracker, Giselle, Coppelia, The Tales of Beatrix Potter and more!

Additionally, I have been a professional artist since 1999, selling art locally and online. This has led to multiple teaching and exhibition opportunities. Teaching experience has included after school arts programs at the local elementary school, art programs at The Creative and Performing Arts of South County, and independent pop up classes.

Currently, I am LOVING teaching my students on Outschool! 

Off of Outschool I am a founding member of The Creative and Performing Arts of South County, an arts center in Maryland and a board member of the Cecchetti Institute (a historical institute for preserving the work of Enrico Cecchetti). I am also a homeschooling mom, finishing up our 9th year!

I believe that learning is fun, the more you learn the more exciting life becomes!

If you do not see a class that works at a time for you, make a request! I cannot promise that I can fulfill the request, but I will do my very best!
