Beginner Level
This 4-week, self-paced course is a fun exploration of the ocean through drawing in a cute, kawaii style. There are no live meetings for this course; rather, students learn through discussion questions and drawing videos. During this course, learners will draw cute sea creature doodles, learn elements of kawaii-style drawing, and learn facts about the sea. What to Expect: Learners will draw along with pre-recorded videos to create cute sea creature drawings. Each lesson, learners will draw three different cute, kawaii-style ocean animal doodles, adding color and details. Every lesson also includes a fun ocean-themed game, and a gallery post. Our course wraps up with Art Sharing Time! Learners choose their favorite drawings from the course, post them in our classroom, and add a video describing their work.

*Students will learn how to draw cute sea creatures.
