This is a one-time meeting class that you can retake as many times as you like.  We will continue where we left off in the previous class. 

 We will work on different projects at each class and the student will build on what they learned in previous classes. 

I welcome learners of all identities and backgrounds into my classes. 

I will teach drawings with a step by step method, so that the student can easily follow along. They can add details, shade and color their work, with their own choices. 
The student can choose from a few options at each class, for learning to draw, design, shade and color. 
This class is designed to build confidence and self esteem, as well as foster creativity. 

I will work with the student at their level and within their interests about art and drawing.  They have have some choices of what we can work on during each class. 

Each class is individualized for the unique learner, in regards to their level, skills and interests. 

This is a hands on, engaging art class. The student will practice their creative art skills and create some new drawings. 
Usually the student will have a completed drawing by the end of class, or a nearly completed drawing that they can finish after class. 

If the student prefers to work on practice drawings to improve skills, that is another option. 
They do not have to work on a complete finished drawing , if they prefer to use the class for skills practice. 

There will be some choices and options, as we go along, so that the student can cater the lesson to their own style. 
Some things the student may choose to learn and practice are drawing animals, creating scenic settings, abstract designs, shading, and more. 

My teaching style is relaxed and casual , with a focus on helping the student to build self esteem and confidence. 
I strive to create a relaxing , encouraging atmosphere during class, to help the student to focus and to explore their artistic skills. 

Art class teaches life skills including listening and following skills, as week as problem solving skills. Practicing art also helps to build self esteem and self confidence. Drawing is a great way for your learner to explore creativity, improvisation, and observational skills. 

I will teach each drawing using a step by step process, so that the student can easily follow along. I will have them show their progress with the camera, as we are going along, so that I can help them along the way. 
I will offer encouragement and listen to their ideas about what the art they are creating.
