What's included
Group experience
Do you love Procreate? Do you want to learn helpful tips and tricks about Procreate? Do you want to engage with other students about your love of the app? In this group, students will get to share their Procreate art. We can share what we love about each other’s art and our own art. Constructive criticism will be accepted, and Miss Allison will explain how to provide constructive criticism in a kind, gentle manner so we can all benefit and improve. As a Procreate Lover, we will do so many fun activities. In addition to sharing our art, Miss Allison as well as students can share tutorials, tips, tricks, brushes, and different features. Each week, there will be one of the following: a written prompt (I.e. draw your favorite holiday, draw something based off these emojis: 🥰😺🧚♀️), Draw This In Your Style (DTIYS) challenge, create something based on a drawn shape challenge, or create a new brush challenge. Students who win the challenges will be able to win awards, such as access to some of Miss Allison's Procreate classes for free or students can have a personalized picture created by Miss Allison. Students are encouraged to use video, commenting, emojis, drawings, and more to engage with one another and to create an interactive experience. Learners will receive consistent feedback from Miss Allison about their art, which includes what Miss Allison loves, what could be improved upon, and what recommendations may be helpful to integrate. I hope to inspire creativity, friendship, belonging, and fun in this engaging group. All levels of experience and knowledge of the app are welcomed, but beginners may benefit from taking Miss Allison's ongoing or one-time Procreate classes to better understand the functions and features of the app. In addition to posting weekly challenges, Miss Allison will respond to everyone's posts and check the forum daily to ensure prompt feedback and interactive moderating. Feel free to contact me with any questions! I cannot wait to have you in my group! **This is not a live class; it is a forum for people who love Procreate to participate in discussion, challenges, and make friends** Student Materials Needed: *iPad with a Digital Drawing App (Procreate is $9.99 in the App Store) installed. *Stylus Optional - **any stylus can be used, it does not need to be an Apple Pencil

Guidelines
Welcome to our Group! We want all of our learners to feel comfortable, connected, and safe. That's why we have 3 rules we ask you to follow: Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Respectful.
Be Kind - Help all learners feel welcome and included.
Learners from all over the world, with different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, abilities, gender identities, religions and body types, participate in our Group. Always be nice and make others, especially new learners, know that they belong and are welcome. Teasing, name calling, or bullying anybody in our community? Nope. Not happening here
Be Safe - Keep your personal information private and never ask other learners for theirs.
Personal things are personal. We want to keep you safe on Outschool, but we also want YOU to understand how to be safe when you're meeting other learners or teachers. Keep your full name, home address, gaming or social media name, email, and school name private.
Be Respectful - Treat others how you want to be treated.
Keep language clean and information you share safe. If you wouldn't say it or share with your grandma, don't do it here. Swear words, racy videos, and violent images are not allowed. Treat Outschool like a public place, and when in doubt, keep things covered.
For constructive criticism: use “I” statements. For example, I love how you drew this cat-the eyes are amazing, but I might try to add a darker background because it is too difficult to see the cat’s body. Do not ever leave only criticism. For every criticism, there has to be a positive comment. Be sure to elaborate on why you gave the feedback you did. When in doubt, send to Miss Allison first. Miss Allison will inform you about how to improve your feedback so it is meaningful, helpful, and kind.

Welcome! If you are looking for a friendly, kind, patient, and interactive teacher for your children, you have come to the right place. I'm so excited you are here! I am looking forward to engaging with your children and teaching digital art.
I have been a school psychologist in various school settings since 2013. As a school psychologist, I evaluate cognitive, academic, social/emotional and behavioral strengths and needs of children in order to help them learn. So, I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent students. I graduated from Temple University with an Educational Specialist Degree (Masters+45 Credits) in School Psychology, and I attended Penn State University for my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a Business focus. While in college, I took numerous art education courses. I have led various social/emotional groups for children in schools, and I have also taught art and drama classes at a summer camp. I am passionate about working with children and families. I am creative and art has been a hobby of mine growing up. I have experience with numerous art mediums, and I have worked with preschool through twelfth grade students. I believe in the power of using art to gain social-emotional skills.
I value getting to know all students I work with, learning names, and ensuring that all students are happy and engaged. I believe all students can learn, and I am very inclusive and loving towards all students I work with.
I have an eleven-year-old lab/terrier mix pup who I love, and she may make a personal introduction during our sessions! I enjoy exploring countries and learning about different cultures; I have been to Israel, Greece, Canada, and Mexico, and I lived in Michigan before moving to Pennsylvania. Can't wait to work with you and your children!
Please message me about any classes you are interested in and we can find a time to do them. I go back to my full time job after Labor Day but would love to provide classes after 5pm EST or on the weekends! I will also have some scheduled on the weekends! Looking forward to hearing from you!
I do not want cost to be a barrier to taking any of my classes if you are interested in them, so please reach out and we can arrange an affordable cost. =)
I was honored to be featured on Outschool's 2021 "E.P.I.C." blog as a "Passion Driven Educator". I am also an ACE educator on Outschool as I completed various professional development workshops to further my knowledge about working with diverse learners.
