Do you enjoy anime or manga? Draw along with other beginner artists in this weekly art class. Circles, triangles, squares and other forms are the foundation for any good doodle, and in anime and manga it is no different. Learn how you can create almost anything with a bit of practice and patience. Perfect for beginners or students looking for inspiration to fill their sketchbook. 📌 This is an ongoing, weekly class and as such students can enroll at any point. In each class, we will draw together a drawing, step by step, while learning a principle of art (ie. proportion, rhythm, unity, etc). Students will then draw a second or third object on their own using the ideas learned in class. 🔎 Monthly Theme | All About You 📷👦👧 🗓️ Week of May 21 | Portrait in Chibi 🗓️ Week of May 28 | People Around Us 🗓️ Week of June 4 | Kawaii Pets 🗓️ Week of June 11 | Kawaii Fantasy Animals 🗓️ Week of June 18 | Props & Backgrounds 🗓️ Week of June 25 | Foods and Drinks 🔎 Monthly Theme | Playing W/ Shapes ⭕️🟩🔷 🗓️ Week of July 2 | Circles 🗓️ Week of July 9 | Triangles 🗓️ Week of July 16 | Squares 🗓️ Week of July 23 | Mix and Match 🗓️ Week of July 30 | Mix and Match 🔎 Monthly Theme | Creating Character 🎭😊😔 🗓️ Week of August 6 | Positive Expressions 🗓️ Week of August 13 | Negative Expressions 🗓️ Week of August 20 | Animated Objects 🗓️ Week of August 27 | Animals W/ Personality 🚨 Please check back for regular updates to the class plan and what students will be drawing.

To be prepared in class, all you need is a pencil, an eraser and paper. We will discuss things like different shapes, shading, line weight, how to best use shapes to construct your anime and manga creations. Sharing your artistic journey with new artists can be an exciting and inspiring experience. Join us and learn how to draw your own anime and manga characters!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of California at Riverside
Spanish Language, Creative Writing and English instructor
In 2012, I earned my degree in creative writing from the University of California at Riverside, working with established authors like Susan Straight, Reza Aslan, and two-time, United States Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera. They taught me the value of writing, the idea that storytelling can help us become better communicators and empathize with people everywhere. I hold a California Basic Education Skills Test (CBEST) certificate since September 2016 in reading, math, and writing.
Once a part of a bookstore then an ESL teacher to Mandarin-speaking students, I’ve worked with children for much of my life. My teaching philosophy is compassion for others, practice listening, and model respect.
I've tutored my younger siblings from kindergarten to university as well as be the de facto translator for my parents from an early age. I am a first-generation, US-born citizen to Mexican parents. If I can help shape the leaders of tomorrow and leave one student or one hundred better than I met them, then I did my job - to make the world a better place.
Fast Facts:
Favorite Lesson to Teach: Spanish 1A. Seeing students with no Spanish knowledge understanding the building blocks of a new language is satisfying. Learning Spanish is not just acquiring a new language, but also gaining an understanding of a new world perspective.
Education: University of CA at Riverside (2008-12) and Cal State Long Beach (2013)
Who was your favorite teacher: Many but my high school English literature and Spanish language teachers. Both provided different learning experiences that helped me grow personally.
Why do I teach: To teach younger generations is to invest in the future, sharing skills like critical thinking, compassion and hard work.
When I'm not teaching I am … reading, watching Netflix, or enjoying family time. I enjoy music as well and constantly learning like learning Italian and Swedish.Reviews
