In this ongoing course, we will take a tour of the United States of America.  Each class, we will create a beautiful artwork about one state.  The content does not build, however, it is a complete course.

Each class, we will take a tour of one American state.  This class meets twice a week, so two states will be covered each week.  Since this is a circular, ongoing class, the schedule will repeat once the rotation is complete, so you can jump in any time and still complete a full course!  First, we will observe and discuss landmarks, culture, and the topography of that state.  Next, we will draw something special from that state  After creating the drawing together, we will engage in a discussion in which each learner will have the option to share their artwork with the group and talk about it.  This concluding activity promotes positive discussion, strengthening communication as well as critical thinking skills.

This class is also available as a 1:1 private tutoring class.  Please message me for details.

My name is Kim, and I am a dedicated educator interested in providing an enriching educational experience for your student(s).  I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Master of Education in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in both Art Education and Arts/Crafts (Ceramics), and I hold a Georgia Educator Certificate (T5) in Art (P-12).  I specialize in Art Education but have taught core academic classes as well.  I have over 25 years of experience in public, charter, and private schools, as well as homeschool and online education.  Given my range of experience teaching students of various ages and ability levels, I have a well-rounded view of education.  I pride myself on the ability to adapt to many different learning styles and curricula, making me highly responsive to the individual needs of each child while fostering each child’s physical, social, and intellectual development.  I am versatile enough to suit whatever educational needs you may have in whatever format may be best suited to facilitate your students’ changing needs and goals.

My enthusiasm and passion for education have given me the ability to demonstrate effective classroom management strategies while maintaining a fun and respectful learning environment.  I possess strong organizational and communication skills that allow me to work effectively with students, parents, staff and the community.  I am patient and caring, and I provide a safe, prepared environment in which students can learn in a nurturing and positive manner.  I strongly believe that each student must be given the time and individualized attention they deserve.
