Class Experience
In this flexible class, we will learn different basics of drawing anime heads and faces in various expressions and styles. All characters are original to help ease into the world of anime/manga art. The goal is to help students create their unique voice and style by breaking down specific anime/manga techniques into teachable segments. Students are encouraged to follow along but can add their artistic voice to their characters. I intend to give your child a basic understanding of the principles of drawing to re-apply rules on their own. This course will be collaborative and instructional while allowing students to be independent in drawing activities in any class recordings. Students are encouraged to draw along with me. One of the BIGGEST benefits of a flexible class is that you can stop and start at any time. You will always get feedback and can ask questions through the time we have together. You can post anything in the classroom related to the subject and the opportunity to meet other students in this course. Drawing anime expressions comes down to working with the same elements of feelings: eyes, eyebrows, lips, nose, ears, the position of the jaw, the cheeks, and then reinforcing these elements with gesture and figure, person's view, light, and value. We will draw in a sketching format so expect to get messy and making mistakes! We will learn together and celebrate our victories! Fall Schedule: Week 1: Girl Child - Joyful Facial Expression Week 2: Male Teen - Scared Expression Week 3: Female Teen - Eating Yummy Expression Week 4: Male Teen - Troubled / Deep in Thought Expression Week 5: Female Teen - Confident Expression Week 6: Boy Child - Sleep Expression (Nose Bubble) Week 7: Male Teen - Anger-Popping Vein Facial Expression Week 8: Female Teen - Disgusted Expression Week 9: Girl Child - Loving Facial Expression Week 10: Male Teen: Excited or Interested Students will have the opportunity to: - learn some basic to intermediate techniques for drawing anime or manga faces for both girls and boys - learn the fundamentals of drawing, for example, perspective, lines, tone, shading, and texture. - learn to be accepting of challenges in different styles with a compassionate inner voice - learn to use mindfulness as a way to understand that voice - learn from one another collaboratively and ask questions - learn to accept getting messy and making mistakes as a way to experiment with finding their voice Supplies needed each day: -Sketchbook Journal or paper -A pencil (mechanical & granite #2) -A stump (Fingers can work) -Rulers About the class: -This class is best suited for those starting out or with little experience with drawing anime. -This class is for those open to the challenge of pushing themselves a little further. -The teacher will share with students the examples, explanations, step-by-step instructions, and drawing demonstrations -On this Flex Course, students will learn how to draw faces and facial features in pre-recorded sessions.

Learning Goals
Students will learn to accept getting messy and making mistakes as a way to experiment with finding their voice. Students will learn basic drawing principles for different anime styles while being challenged with some basic to intermediate techniques.
Students will learn shading, perspective, and proportion sizes through the nine principles of drawing.
Students will learn how simple shapes can help to create their style and independent voice.
The class can be challenging, so each student will have the opportunity to practice mindfulness during the class's practice portion.

Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Rhode Island College
I have several years of experience with art teaching in co-ops, homeschool, and private tutoring. I try to incorporate mindfulness, creativity, and freedom into all of my classes.
My teaching philosophy is that all students are individuals and unique learners that must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. I desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and where mistakes are considered educational victories.
