🐰 Is your child an animal lover? Would they love to learn to how to draw animals? In this weekly group art club I, Mr. Andy, guide the students as I teach them to draw animals. I select the animal that we draw in the art class each week (a list of the animals that we will be drawing in the coming weeks is below).

🐱 The class is started by sketching the animal with a drawing pencil and eraser. I demonstrate step by step how to draw animals using simple shapes such as circles, ovals and squares. After having drawn the animal we draw a simple background environment that goes along with that animal’s natural habitat. After the sketching is completed we color in the animal and scene using colored pencils. At the end of the class I allow the learners to show off their drawing to the class!

🦊 I use two cameras for the class. One is focused on my face and the other camera is focused on my drawing pad. The drawing is done step-by-step. I draw along and explain what I am doing. The student draws along with me. I have been using this online method to teach via Zoom for several years and I find it very effective and enjoyable.

🐱 I pause every so often to ensure that the student has not fallen behind. I also ask the student to show me their work on the camera. If needed I explain how it can be improved. I give encouragement and motivation throughout the class. If the student does not understand something or has a question I will be happy to answer them. My teaching style is relaxed and positive.

*****IMPORTANT: This is an weekly class. Classes are held one time each week.

🕐 I also offer this class for younger learners as well as one time classes and 1:1 private drawing lessons:

🕐 Please note that each student draws at their own pace. Due to this they may not finish the drawing in the time we have for the class. However, the students learn techniques they can use on their own.

🎓 No prior knowledge or experience is required. 

Since this is an ongoing class the student can stop attending at any time.
