What if your drawing could jump out from the paper? Well, with this 3D shading course, each of my students can experience this for themselves. In this class, we will explore the basics of drawing and shading both a 3D square and rectangle. We will explore how to shade from dark to light, and discuss how perspective effects how we draw our shape. And don't worry! No one has to draw an absolutely perfect shape. The goal is not perfection. The goal is to understand the basics of creating light and shadow, and how these two elements come together. Each student needs a pencil, eraser, ruler, and preferably sketching paper. (Any blank paper can be used if sketching paper is not available.) We will begin by drawing a basic shape, and then we will add shading to create depth and dimension. I will be demonstrating the techniques with my students and working right along with them. Art is about self expression and learning, and I hope to create a fun, interactive environment where students can develop a love for drawing while learning a new skill.

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate in English to Speakers of Other Languages
I am a professional artist, specializing in oil portrait paintings, and I have had the privilege of displaying my artwork in venues across the country. I believe that art is about self expression and learning, and I hope to create a fun, interactive environment where students can develop a love for art while building their confidence in a new skill.
I have always struggled with expecting “perfection” of myself, especially in my art, so I am constantly reminding my students, as well as myself, that perfection is not required, and that practice, not unreasonable expectations, is what a advances our skills.
My joy in teaching comes from the comments of my students and their parents, expressing that they created something they didn’t know was possible.
