ONLINE ART CLASSES
As a result of the 2020 pandemic and a requirement to social distance, I worked to create a wonderful selection of online classes. The format works really well and I have received lots of positive feedback from students. In addition, teaching online allows me to teach workshops anywhere in the world!
My Online Classes follow the same rigorous attention to detail and planning as my In-Person classes. Many students say that ZOOM sessions help them concentrate and learn effectively since their attention is more directed. As an instructor, I feel the same way - the fluidity of toggling between demos, lecture, presentations, group critiques and one-on-one work sessions is extremely efficient and powerful.
