Online Art Lessons by Debra Carmona

My online art lessons have been tested in a live classroom with various age groups of students, so they have been carefully arranged on this site according to difficulty; Level I being the easiest, Level II a bit more involved, Level III goes into greater depth with deatil having more steps to complete the project and/or with special techniques used. I like to keep art class interesting by working with different mediums and a variety of subject matters. One day we may work with graphite, another day oil pastels, and the next lesson might be water color painting. Most projects will start with the step by step process of the drawing then we will finish it with the selected medium for that project. The lessons are self-paced so you can work on them at your own pace. There will be individual slides of my own illustrations for the various steps with some written explanations plus an occasional video as is necessary to demonstrat proceedures in completing the art project. To see an example of how the lessons wil be set up click here for a Sample Art Lesson.

"I have been taking art classes with Mrs. Carmona since kindergarten and have gone to five Summer Art Camps.

Every year I have won awards with my art at the state competition. I love Art Camp! The best part is painting with Acrylic paint on canvas. Everything that I have entered in the competitions during my elementary years won a Superior score. I was very excited when I earned a Best of Show Award with my art when I was in the eigth grade. "
