This class is intended for students interested in learning how to draw cartoon chickens. Students will be drawing different types of chickens. Students tackle projects by learning basic drawing principles and apply them to drawing their characters. ITINERARY: * Students will learn about creative thinking involved in designing a cartoon character. * Students will observe a photo of a chicken and think about what shapes would work best when drawing the character. * Direct Instruction: Students will follow along with the teacher as he draws the a chicken from the photo and then drawing a more simplified cartoon version of the chicken. * First Drawing Practice: Students will see how quickly they can draw a simple chicken drawing. They will also experiment with different cartoon shapes for eyes, mouths, and noses. * Direct Instruction: Students will follow along as the instructor draws wackier cartoon chickens, as well as anthropomorphic chickens. * Second Drawing Practice: Students will try drawing a chicken as wacky and overtly exaggerated as they can. No background experience is required, but helpful. Materials Needed: -Fine-tip Pen -Paper/Sketchpad This is a LIVE class and is NOT pre-recorded. This class will be presented via cameras from the instructor. He will have one camera at his face and another will be at the table where he is drawing, so that the student can see the instructor as speaks, and be able to observe step-by-step what the instructor is doing. Students can interact with the instructor, as well ask ask questions during instruction. No writing or independent reading is necessary. Students are expected to communicate with the teacher. Communication, visuals, and hands-on instruction are all the things that I are important in helping the students get a better understanding of the subject.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to create an expressive abstract composition (cartoon) from observation of a photo.

Hi, my name is Raymond Mullikin. π
I am a professional cartoonist and credentialed teacher from San Luis Obispo, California.
I teach classes in Cartooning, Comic Book Printing and Publishing, 2D Cartoon Animation, Claymation/Stop Motion, Toy Figure Design, Video Game and App Coding, Creative Writing, etc.
I am also a professional illustrator/writer and Creative Director for Raytoons Comics. The Raytoons website is at Raytoons.Net. I have published cartoons in books, magazines, newspapers, and e-cards. I am an app designer who have designed my own games and software for schools and Appstores. I have also done past work in animation, creating animated film shorts for film festivals around the world.
I graduated from the University of Laverne with a Teaching Credential (2012) and a BA in Liberal Studies (2009). I also have certifications in Early Childhood Education, Technology and 2D Design. I've worked in education for 20+ years (including a few years in Special Ed) and have been doing contract teaching since 2009. I teach art and technology to children and adults of all ages.
How students approach a learning task can strongly influence the quality of their learning outcomes. For me, my approach is often very hands on (kinesthetic) with a lot of visual examples... That's how I've learned things, with a more creative approach. I have a lot of this in my instruction, with a mix of direct and interactive instruction with lots of Experiential Learning hands on!
It is also important to me to get feedback from both children and parents... Some kids have some very clever ideas! And, in teaching, there is always room for expansion of ideas and improving oneself.
I love drawing, comics, writing, creating my own games, and reading. Pretty much everything that I teach I enjoy and do professionally. I also enjoy teaching and thank all the parents and students willing to give me a try! πReviews
