In this weekly class students will draw an animal (using simple shapes) and paint using watercolor paints. Each week we will explore a new animal. While we paint, I will tell the students fun facts about the different animals as well as ask them questions. Students are more than welcome to share their experiences or encounters with the different animals we will paint. This is going to be a fun and sociable painting class. Depending on the pace of the students some may have to complete their painting after class. We will always complete the drawing during class.

Attendance Policy
Class will begin on time and if your child is late the class will continue moving forward. If time permits, I will go over the drawing(s) that your student missed. 

What to do…

Schedule Change Request?
I understand that life happens and sometimes you may need to change your learners class session. I have no problem with making arrangements with you. Please try to give me a 24hr. heads up if your learner is unable to attend their session and I’ll be more than happy to transfer them to another session at a different date or time.

What to do If my child is absent?
If a session is missed, please be sure to request a recording.

Class Cancellations 

Cancelled Class by the teacher?
According to Outschool’s policy I am to wait 10 minutes in the classroom before canceling class. If no students are in attendance in class before the 10-minute grace period, the class session will be cancelled and their will not be a recording of the session as I will not proceed to teach without students being present.

Also, if students arrive in class late, I will start the lesson from the beginning at whatever time the first late student arrives. I will continue the lesson until the scheduled class ending time. If we are not able to finish the activity due to tardiness the student is more than welcome to finish their activity outside of class and share their final results at the end of the next class session if time is permitted.

Teacher Emergency?
As stated, before life happens and most times it happens in and at the wrong moments. In the event I must cancel class due to an emergency I will give you the option of having your learner transferred to another class. If a transfer doesn’t work for you, I am more than happy to issue a refund for the missed class session on my behalf.

Refunds?
No shows and missed classes are not entitled to refunds. If you miss a session a recording will be available for viewing. Please allow yourself and student time to log in early in order to give yourself time to do a technical check and make sure you can enter the class without any issues
