I am a CA credentialed teacher for over 24 yrs. now. I taught full time for many years before having my amazing son in 2002. While becoming a Stay-at-home mom, I created an in-home preschool program for 2 years and then started subsituting in my local mtn. district when my son entered kindergarten. He will soon begin 5th grade. Although I am still on the sub list for the district, I am currently teaching painting classes in my home for students ages 4-13. I teach a program which covers various master paint ... read moreers. My "Meet the Masters" Program covers the elements of art, principals of art, art appreciation, art tools, Impressionism/Post-Impressionism, various artists from these periods- Renoir, Monet, VanGogh, Seurat, Redon, Ranson, etc. (them, their art, their styles,etc.). Students learn from stories, games, discussions, dvd and youtube videos. In addition to the art appreciation element of my classes, I instruct 6-8 directed painting lessons in recreating masterpieces from the various artists we are covering each session. Due to the age group, we work with tempera paints on watercolor paper. Students create a portfolio of their work and I upload them to our school's Artsonia gallery. My students love their art galleries and so do their families and friends. If you haven't checked out our masterpieces yet, please do so.
