In this ongoing dessert/treat drawing club, students will learn to draw a variety of sweet treats using pastel chalk! If students prefer, they are welcome to use colored pencil instead of pastel chalk.  Students will learn to draw a realistic stack of s'mores, ice cream cone, strawberry cupcake, and iced lemonade. Students are welcome to change color choice for their drawings if they want their desserts to have different flavors than what is on the examples.

Please note that since this is an ongoing course, students can enroll or withdraw at any time.  Each scheduled meeting will be spent creating ONE drawing.  Please make sure to check the scheduled times below to see which week each drawing will be taught and the materials needed for each drawing, (found in the supply list). 

For every class, 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.
