Our group is all about exploring the amazing animals in our world through art! We highlight well-known and unique animals. Some of them can get kind of crazy! Each week, learners are presented with an animal from a continent or region of the world. Learners will get info about the animal and region of the world. Then, they'll watch a video or follow a tutorial that guides them through drawing/craft. WHAT'S INCLUDED: 🎨Video or step-by-step tutorials 🎨Immediate access to over 25 art projects 🎨Facilitated by an art teacher 🎨World travel through animals and art! Here's how they interact in the group each week: The assignment: Learners follow the instructions I give to draw, paint, color, and create! The interaction: Students are encouraged to talk to each other for ideas AND to share their projects by uploading a picture. Kind comments and encouragement is what this group is all about! My job: Every Monday, I’ll be sending the animal of the week. I’ll give some direction and instruction through video or images, and then they’re off! I’ll be encouraging students to ask me questions that can help them dive into the animal of the week. I will be monitoring all comments as soon as they're posted.

Nope! The stripes you see on their back legs are there for camouflage. They're actually related to giraffes, not zebras! You can see the resemblance in the long tongue, ossicones (small horn-like structures on their heads), and long neck. Did you know okapis were in the same family as giraffes?

Hi! I’m Ms. Abbey.
I teach kids to love art through animals, travel, and step-by-step instruction.
I truly believe art class is for EVERYONE, not just the natural artist. The scientist, nature-lover, athlete, wanna-be vet, and gamer can all find fun and a sense of accomplishment in art. That’s why I’ve made my brand ARTventurous Animals. My classes engaging, full of animals and adventure, and uncomplicated 🎨
I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education and have taught in a brick-and-mortar classroom for 4 years. But even after substituting, teaching 3rd grade, teaching Kindergarten, and teaching English in Thailand, being an online art teacher has been my favorite!
I have had over 2 years of experience teaching English to learners of other languages with VIPKid, and I welcome any ESL learners in my class! I am also TESOL certified through IOA (International Open House Academy). Message me before class so I can cater to your learner.
I believe children should be guided to be their best self. This means creating extra tasks for gifted students, challenging the average, and reaching out and individually assisting the lower students. I also believe that art is for everyone! Anyone can draw, anyone can create, anyone can imagine.
A fun fact about me is that I have lived in Bangkok, Thailand! I have also been to 9 countries on 3 different continents. The most incredible was probably the United Arab Emirates.
My husband and I just had our beautiful son, Liam James, on July 4th. He’s the reason I’ve chosen to be an online teacher and stay-at-home mom. If you met him, you would know why I can’t bring myself to leave him all day!
Oh, and we have a cat named Leo. He’s pretty great, too!
