Students will be assessed throughout class and at the end of class through questions and sharing of drawings.Class Experience
In this one-time drawing course, students will learn how to sketch a realistic portrait of a giraffe (top of giraffe's head and part of the neck). What will students learn? 1. Students will learn techniques for sketching a proportionate contour drawing (outline) of a giraffe. 2. Students will learn techniques for smooth blending, pencil application, gradient blending, and adding contrast. 3. Students will learn techniques for sketching a spotted pattern on the giraffe. 4. Students will learn a few facts about giraffes. I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me. My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative environment where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged. I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding. Students may also interact with each other if they want to share what they have learned during class. Students who enroll in this class should have basic drawing skills, like drawing and manipulating shapes with a pencil. Students who enroll in this class should have some drawing experience. If you do not see a scheduled time that works for you, please message me. I am happy to try and accommodate your schedule with mine.

✨Welcome to my teacher page! ✨
After graduating with Bachelor's Degrees in Elementary and Early Childhood Education, I decided to make the leap of starting my author and illustrator career. Since then, I have written and illustrated my first middle grade fantasy book, Brush of Magic, with many more in the works!
Along with running my own art and book shop, I design and teach a variety of drawing and painting classes, ranging from realistic sketching, watercolor painting, fantasy drawing, and illustration. I have taught for about 9 years, 4 of which have been specific to art. I love the time I get to spend with my students, creating art, and chatting about books—especially if the books and art are whimsical or magical!
All the artwork, books, and stationary designs in my shop are created by me. I often find inspiration for my art and books through reading, spending time with my cats and dogs, and brainstorming imaginary creatures in my sketchbook.
Thank you for stopping by! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to help.😊
