미스 마지와 함께 그림 그리기!- 진행 중인 주간 미술 수업

My name is Margie Samuels.  I began teaching art about 25 years ago.  I drew constantly as a child, and finally, after really great art teachers in high school, and really lousy teachers in college, I found a wonderful private teacher who guided me to develop my teaching expertise and style.  I actually teach kids "how to draw"!   It is a step-by-step process which is actually very comprehensive.  Line by line, curve by curve, and the results just magically appear!  If your child likes drawing, they would love this class!  They will meet other kids, and learn to make beautiful art - all kinds of art!  My "Draw with Miss Margie" class is intended for kids who are interested in drawing.  It is a thorough and accurate style of teaching and of learning.  I also offer a Beginning Art class which is the same style, but for kids who are just starting out.  For any of my classes, contact me first to make sure we're not in the middle of a project so the first lesson for your child would be a beginning point for all the learners in that class.  Looking forward to meeting you!!

This ongoing class will be conducted like my in-school classes I've taught over the years.  Each week we will work on a piece of art that the student will finish during the hour during class time, or during subsequent lessons.   There will only be "homework" if we are close to finishing, and the student has not completed it yet.  Sometimes, extensive projects may take up to 4 consecutive lessons.  Sometimes as few as two or three lessons.  I ask the kids to only work on our projects while we're in class, so we can work together in each subsequent lesson.  

We will cover fundamentals such as line drawings, creating a color wheel, and sketching and shading objects. We will create "still-life" drawings, landscapes, portraits, graphic designs, perspective drawings, tessellations, paper mosaic collages, logos, scientific illustration, stippling, crosshatching, watercolor and other various styles.  The problem-solving aspects of rigorous art instruction is an excellent addition to a child's academic curriculum and has been proven to help a child's overall educational success.
