Class Experience

In this five lesson self paced course learners will learn how to sketch. Learners will develop their sense of imagination and creativity while exploring art projects and have opportunity to express themselves in a visual context.

The art project topics are animal and birds. Learners will how to sketch a penguin, cat, turtle, humming bird and a fox. I will teach each lesson with a video tutorial. Learners can expect from to walk away with a complete sketch each lesson after watching the pre-recorded video lesson.  

This is a Self Paced class, meaning NO LIVE CLASSES, you sign up and then watch the videos as your schedule allows, participate in the classroom discussion, ask any question you want, and share your work as you complete each project.    

The lessons will post the lesson on the classroom page.

This class will offer art activities to expand the creative experience and awareness of children in visual arts. Students will explore different styles and techniques. The most important aspects of the art projects are discovery, exploration and individual creativity. While learning discovering different styles, it is still up to the children to decide exactly how their art will turn out. 

While my directions are detailed, and I want students to become familiar with different techniques. The instruction on techniques is incorporated into the step by step lesson on the particular project and not a separate lesson.  

I also want students to be able to express their own creative voice. I encourage students to add their own unique details to make their artwork truly their own.

The only prior skill required is the ability to follow detailed visual and verbal directions. 

Each lesson will not only include art instruction, but also an opportunity for students to express themselves.
