Class Format: 

This is a ongoing subscription class, which means:
-	Each week is an independent class. You pay for each week that you would like to join.
-	There is no start or end date, come and go as your schedule allows.
-	There is no set course list. The projects for each week will be different but adhere to the class description. 

Please note: Because children develop at different rates and a one size fits all approach is not always ideal, I offer this class in a variety of age ranges with overlap (ex. ages 6-10 and 8-12) allowing you to choose the ideal classroom environment for your student. 

This class is offered in multiple age ranges as well as ongoing or a 10 week session for students who have anxiety over meeting new classmates, please check out my class listings to find the age range most comfortable for your student.
          
This class is geared to girls ages 8-12 years old. Each week we will gather for some girl talk while completing a drawing/art project. This is part social, part project based, and all fun! Join each week or pick and choose what works for you.

We are our own worst critics. This club is to help us take our own art less seriously while also taking art in general more seriously. Students will learn that growth in a subject matter such as art comes from repetition and breaking larger more complex drawings into simple shapes. After just a few short weeks parents often notice a surprising increase in their student’s confidence level.

A student recently told me after 3 weeks of working with them that “art isn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be and I kind of like it now”

The goal of this club is to create that safe space for girls to express themselves and create lifelong friendships all while they are creating art. Some weeks I will offer examples of how to add journaling into their art, introducing them to the concept of art journaling slowly over time. These journaling additions are a great way to add thought processing and reflection in a time where our kids need an outlet more than ever.  

It is my hope that students will relate to each other through their art and realize that even though we are each unique, being different is ok, in fact being different is awesome!

For examples of the types of drawings we’ll be doing in this club please see the teacher expertise section where a link to my student’s art portfolio is provided.
