***If this will be your FIRST CLASS on Outschool, please use my code APRILTA2020, to get $20 off of your first class! This is a unique class in which you will get to draw your favorite pet! You will communicate with me at least 1 week prior to your class to share a photo of the pet you would like to draw. When we meet, I will have a finished drawing of your pet along with a simplified version made with basic shapes! We will work closely together to draw the basic shapes of your pet, connect them, and finish up with shading techniques that add realistic and 3 dimensional qualities! Some examples of pets that we could draw are: dogs, cats, lizards, fish, guinea pigs, turtles, frogs, and more! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or send me photos prior to enrolling in the class and I'd be happy to chat with you!

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!
