includedClass Experience
In this 3 week class, your learner will participate in creating a unique group of cartoon characters. We will meet 2 times each week learning new art fundamentals each lesson. Drawing along with your learner using the suggestions made by the class we will create a fun group of cartoon characters. I will guide your learner through this. They have the option to do any idea for characters they like or draw along with me and and draw the same character. I will have prompts for them if would need them or we can come up with ideas together. Some examples include, super heroes, animals, color themed, princess, etc. Each lesson will be structured in a similar way: Part 1: A quick introduction to explain to students the class and what will be taught. Part 2: A drawing game to get the creative juices flowing. I will give the learners a silly prompt and a time limit to draw silly characters. I will also participate. Part 3: The lesson, a lecture with drawing examples. Some times this will involve the students drawing along. Part 4: A little movement and break. As a professional artist I only work 30 minutes without standing, stretching, and giving myself a little shake. It is only for a minute but it is very important. Part 5: Now is the time for learners to put into practice what I have showed them. This is drawing time where we will draw together. Part 6: Show and tell time. Any student that feels comfortable showing what they have drawn is free to show what they have created. If any learner has any questions I will answer them here.
