Draw Cute Baby Animals Now!

Each class is independent and is for beginning and beginning-intermediate student artists. They will meet 1 time per week for 8 weeks. The class  will be interactive between myself and the students. I use visual examples that I made, in a slide show, showing step-by-step how to draw each animal baby. I don’t make my examples perfect because I want the students to see that even teachers aren’t perfect. I show them where and how I fixed mistakes so that they can see how I learned from those mistakes. Each class will have it's own slide show beginning with an example of what the final drawing for that class will look like, then it will have pictures of how to fold the paper to create class specific drawing guide-lines. I really like to interact with the students as much as possible and I will continuously check on the students’ for remaining on task and following along with the steps, offering praise, encouragement and suggestions along the way. Once their papers are folded properly for the specific animal, we will begin drawing, again step-by-step, following along with the pictures in the slide show. I will continue to check student work, offering individual comments as we go along. Throughout each class, students will learn drawing basics including light sketching and beginning shading. At the end of each class, when the drawing is completed, the students will be able to color their drawings as they would like to. For every class, I will supply a handout with several different types of eyes for them to work with, as eyes are difficult and a handheld visual guide may be easier than a computer screen. The eight lessons will be given in the following order: kitten, puppy, bunny. lion cub, fawn, kit (baby fox), chicks, and koala. Each class has a different artistic focus, such as shading or sketching or perspective, and the concepts can be used in other drawings or not.
