includedClass Experience
In this ongoing class, I will teach art at a beginner level (elementary age). This art class is perfect for young artists who want to learn the basics, like simple drawing, basic form, shape, creative thinking and basic storytelling. I always teach my classes on mute, but I encourage learners to unmute if they need help or have questions. When I teach, I lead by example. This means that I will draw, paint, and create alongside students. I demonstrate the steps and concepts of each class at an appropriate pace for beginner artists. Every week we will focus on something different. Here is a breakdown of what we will be learning every week. Week of June 4: Simple shading (highlight and shadow) Week of June 11: Cartoon prehistoric scene (pencil, pen, eraser, paper) Week of June 18: Cartoon farm scene (pencil, pen, eraser, paper) Week of June 25: Acrylic painting (paints, paintbrush, blowdryer, rag, canvas or cardboard) Week of July 2: Transform a letters into object/animals Wee of July 9: Cubist Portrait (sharpie, coloured pencils, pencil, eraser, markers optional) Week of July 16: Pattern Drawing (pencil, drawing pens, eraser, ruler) Wee of July 23: NO CLASS July 30: Acrylic painting sunset August and on: Drawing games!
