Class experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner Level
We will begin with the basics of constructing a face with pencil, learning where the features typically go on the face and setting up guidelines before beginning to pencil in features. I will demonstrate some ways to exaggerate features such as the eyes, ears, nose, chin, lips, etc. and the student will decide which feature of their own to exaggerate and begin to create a sketch in pencil.

Once the pencil sketch is drawn, we will look at how to use our markers to create the lines we want, whether thinner lines, (for teeth, irises/eyes), or thicker lines as well as blocks of solid black for shadows.

White Paper (cheap copy paper is my favorite on which to practice and learn)
Pencil
Eraser

Black  & Gray markers 
     -I use the Crayola Broad Line  as the tip works well for fine lines  and I use the side angle to create slightly darker areas.  The Target off-brand works equally well for about 1/2 the cost.  I use the black for the primary caricature, and will use grey at the very end, to show how to use shadowing for a caricature that has more "depth".
