Animal Drawing Club for Beginners!
🐰 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).

🦊 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.

Each week we draw a different animal:

Teacher expertise and credentials
I’m a fine artist working out of my home studio in South Carolina. I have been a fine artist for the past 11 years and an art teacher since 2021.

I love teaching and sharing what I have learned with others. I enjoy seeing how my students are able to develop their artistic skills. 

I specialize in watercolors, colored pencils, acrylic and alcohol markers as well as acrylic paints. I greatly enjoy drawing realistic animals, landscapes and cityscapes.

Reviews: 
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  "My daughter loves this class! And I love seeing her animal drawing after. Last week was an otter floating on its back and it was so adorable. This is greatfor any kiddo who wants to learn drawing techniques and drawing animals from a very patient and engaging teacher." April T.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ " My daughter is 12 years old, likes to doodle and loves animals.  She had a wonderful session with Andy.  He is calm and his instructions were very easy to follow.  He provided feedback to her as the class progressed. She drew a clownfish with him and it is one of the best drawings that she has ever created." Jessica W.
