~ 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.

BEFORE CLASS
Students should log into class about 5 minutes before the scheduled start time. This allows you time to resolve 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, we will review the supplies needed for the lesson and 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 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 it using watercolor paints.

My teaching style is very patient and fun! We love to laugh and enjoy being creative together. My passion is to inspire kids to be innovative, hoping to build their confidence as artists and individuals. Each student is important and contributes to the class.

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

If they are not, they are to be placed in the waiting room until the parent can make arrangements to register the extra learners, or the teacher may refund them.  We understand the desire for friends or siblings to watch, but if two children participate under one registration, they will be sent back to the waiting room per Outschool policy.
