ABOUT
In this cat painting class, your artists will learn to draw & watercolor paint a Warriors-inspired cat. I love to draw the characters your artist requests! No drawing experience is needed for this class! I will teach everything your artist needs to know in every class in drawing properly!

~ IMPORTANT~ Be on time for class! 
This is a step-by-step lesson, and you need to be on time. If your artist is late, I will let them in class, and they can participate where we are in the drawing. I will offer your artist the option of doing the complete lesson on the recording after class has finished and the lesson has been uploaded to the cloud.

PRIOR TO CLASS
Students should log into class about 5 minutes before the scheduled start time. This allows time for you to resolve any technical issues with your device's connection.  If you use a battery-powered device (laptop, Ipad, etc) be sure it is fully charged or connected to the power supply.

I will use this time for students to show me any art they have completed and any questions before starting the class session. 

START OF CLASS
First thing, wereviewo over the supplies needed for the lesson and will ask each student their name. I encourage students to use the chatbox during class for questions. If they have an answer to , my questions they are then allowed to unmute to answer the question. I love class participation!  Especially when we learn from each other about art! 

Then I will begin the step-by-step process of drawing out our character in easy-to-follow instructions. Each step will be broken down to the simplest form by using common shapes like circles and lines.  My favorite is comparing shapes to food!  Like a potato or a pizza. This frees the artist to allow for imperfections in their initial sketch. Once we build our character, we will add details, texture, shading, and form to our drawing. If it is a painting, we will add these using watercolor paints.

END OF CLASS
At the end of class, each student can show their work on the screen and tell the class about their work!  This is a big confidence booster!  You can see how much they worked and listened in class when they held up their final art piece!  Thank you for encouraging your artist to be creative!
