Draw Cute Animals Using Simple Shapes & Learn About the Animal!

In this class, we will learn to draw very simple versions of animals based on shapes. I have two young children, and I Love to teach them art! 

As we draw these cute creatures, I will be sharing interesting facts about the animals. For example? Did you know that hedgehogs are immune to viper snake venom, or that a squirrels teeth can grow 6 inches every year, or that the great horned owl can’t smell skunk spray? Cool eh? Animals are so much fun. 

When I teach, I like to draw with my learners. This allows me to demonstrate what we are learning that day. This particular class is a step-by-step class. I will draw each step with the learner, and wait until most learners are complete a step before moving onto the next step. 

I keep my classes on mute, so that learners can focus on their artwork and also hear what I’m saying. I do, however, encourage learners to unmute when they need help, or to unmute when I call on them to answer a fun question. For this reason, learners must be able to mutant unmute themselves independently. At this age, I know that can be a challenge, so I recommend that parents/guardians stay within earshot.

Every week learners will need to have a pencil, an eraser, and ideally a black felt tipped pen for outlines. Colour is optional. If time permits, we may add colour using coloured pencil at the end of class. Some drawings are more complicated than others, and there will not always be time for a color.

Here is the breakdown of what we will draw and learn about every week.
