Homework
1 hour per week. Complete independent practice of class projects on a daily basis if need be. Art making has no set time limit when the right-brain and imagination is ignited. In other words, any homework will simply be to enjoy additional time for the creative process beyond our 60-minute allotted meeting time each class meeting together online. Optional: To observe color in our natural world, the world around found in the garden, the park, the neighborhood and other natural spaces and be able to identify color varieties and discuss back in class. Additional optional art activity: sketching outdoors while observing natural elements rich with color, i.e. flowers, trees, the sky etc.Assessment
Learner progress will be accessed in a formative way by sharing work in progress with the teacher each class meeting.Class Experience

I am offering this class because I love art making, and have an art studio in my home where I make art big and small, almost every day. My own unique style of art making incorporates mixed media, it's awesome. I love creating something beautiful that didn’t exist ever before! I have been making art since I was three-years old and grew up in a home environment where creativity was a way of life.
I’ve always been creative and interested in colors, textures, textiles, fashion design and traveling the globe appreciating diverse cultures. I am inspired by nature, the cosmos and color most of all! To me, making art, expressing myself creatively and teaching others to do that, are as natural as breathing. Kids of all ages love my inspired, relaxed and energetic style of teaching art. I have been teaching art in formal settings for over 20 years.
I look forward to having the opportunity to meet and create art together.Reviews
