Students will be assessed throughout class and at the end of class through questions and sharing of drawings.Class Experience
In this one-time drawing course, students will learn the basics of drawing a realistic pug portrait. Students will learn techniques to draw a proportionate pug portrait (head to chest) using pencil. Students will also learn basic shading techniques. I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me. My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative environment where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged. I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding. Students may also interact with each other if they want to share what they have learned during class. Students who enroll in this class should have basic drawing skills, like drawing and manipulating shapes with a pencil. Students do not need previous knowledge of how to draw animals, but should have a passion for drawing!
Learning Goals
