In this one-time drawing class, students will learn to sketch a realistic full body portrait of a moose, using colored pencil. What will students learn? 1. Students will learn techniques to sketch a proportionate contour drawing (outline) of a moose (head and part of body). 2. Students will learn techniques for smooth blending, pencil application, gradient blending, and adding contrast. 3. Students will learn techniques to create blurred trees/shrubbery in the background of their drawing, using colored pencil and oil. 4. Students will learn techniques to create fur, antler, and tree/shrubbery texture, using colored pencil and oil. 5. Students will learn techniques to create a cohesive drawing, using a limited color palette. 6. Students will learn a few facts about moose. I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me. My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative space where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged. I strive for my classroom to be a positive environment for students to learn from each other, ask questions, and make lasting friendships. I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Weber State University
Art Teacher 🎨 / Middle Grade Fantasy Author 📚/ Children's Book Illustrator 🐉
✨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.😊
