It's a realistic drawing class, faces and people. This 16 days course is focused on human figure drawing. These are step by step lessons and I will teach them some tips and tricks how can they draw easily and proportionally. 
I will cover the course in 16 days, but if you want to dive deeper into, let's say, poses, facial expressions, or clothing details, just let me know! Students can join and leave at any time.
The time it takes for kids to learn figure drawing through sketching can vary based on individual skills, dedication, and practice. 

HB pencil and printer paper can be used for beginners. High-quality tools and materials can enhance the work, please check the supply list.

Here is the course highlights,

Day 3&4: Face Drawing in Different Angles 
I will cover straight-on views/ three-quarter /side glance of face.

My love for art and craft has been with me since childhood, and after completing my academic and design degrees, I began teaching art to kids. Over time, more kids expressed interest in learning, and it kept me deeply engaged with my passion. This led me to establish my own art school. I expanded my horizons by selling my art worldwide and volunteering as an art docent in elementary schools while teaching as an after-school instructor. 
I guide students through step-by-step processes, explore different styles, and experiment with various art media.
I offer art lessons to students aged 5-17, both in groups and through private one-on-one sessions. In these 14 years I teach a wide range of art media, including watercolor, oil pastels, acrylics, oil painting, sculpture painting, color pencil techniques, sketching, and shading.
Let's embark on this creative journey together!
Besides art and craft, I also love cooking, watching movies, going on hikes in nature, and most importantly, spending quality time with my two lovely kids and my husband.
Thank you!
