Ready, Set, Draw! Create Your Dream City in This Fun and Interactive Class!  This class is for learners ages 6-11.

🎨 Let’s Talk About Shapes:
We'll kick off by discussing two-dimensional shapes like rectangles, squares, ovals, triangles, and circles, along with three-dimensional shapes such as cones, spheres, cylinders, cubes, and rectangular prisms.

🏢 Cityscape Details:
Learners are then guided through a step-by-step drawing of a city. Once the buildings, streets, and sidewalks are in place, it's time to add unique touches to your city. Who lives there? What season is it? How do people get around? What restaurants are in your city? These questions will fuel our imaginative discussions. Learners will also be shown inspiring student artworks.

🖌️ Pacing:
Artists naturally progress at different speeds. Some might complete their entire drawing within the 40-minute timeframe, while others might choose to add details beyond class time. With the flexibility to include as many buildings as desired, additional time after class may be needed for more complex drawings.

🎉 Get Ready for Creativity!
This class caters to beginners, though a bit of experience drawing straight lines with a ruler is recommended.

🔸 Class begins right at the class start time.  Please be on time so you don't miss anything.

🔸 In some cases, if the class nears full capacity, we might run an extra 5 minutes to ensure everyone has a chance to share their creative cityscapes.

We are excited to start this creative city-planning journey with you! 🌆
