Class Experience

Let's have fun drawing our favorite How To Train Your Dragon Toothless!
You do not have to be an artist to take this class. You just need to love to create!

ABOUT
In this class, we will learn how to build the character using shapes and adding depth.
Draw Toothless or make this dragon Lightfury or a baby Nightlight Dragon! We love to build a story to go with our dragon drawing!
I will take your student on a journey, inspire, and build confidence.

~ IMPORTANT~ Be on time for class! 
This is a step-by-step lesson and you need to be on time. If your artist is late, I will let them in class and they can participate where we are in the drawing. I will offer your artist the option of doing the complete lesson on the recording after class has finished and the lesson has been uploaded to the cloud.

BEFORE CLASS
Students should start logging into class about 5 mins before the scheduled start time. This allows time for you to resolve any technical issues with your device's connection.  If you are using a battery-powered device (laptop, Ipad, etc) be sure it is fully charged or connected to the power supply.

START OF CLASS
First thing, we will go over the supplies needed for the lesson and will ask each student their name. I encourage students to use the chatbox during class for questions. If they have an answer to my questions they are then allowed to unmute to answer the question. I love class participation!  Especially when we learn from each other about art! 

Then I will begin the step-by-step process of drawing out our character in easy-to-follow instructions. Each step will be broken down to the simplest form by using common shapes like circles and lines.  My favorite is comparing shapes to food!  Like a potato or a pizza. This frees the artist to allow for imperfections in their initial sketch. Once we build our character out, we will add details, texture, shading, and form to our drawing. 

Specifics we will learn:
Contouring
Shading
Improve drawing skills
Colors
How to choose pencil types and hardness.
How to choose paper and art mediums.
Create character and form using texture and shading.
Learning perspective views.
I encourage artists to ask me any art questions!!!

END OF CLASS
At the end of class, each student is allowed to show their work on the screen and tell the class about their work!  This is a big confidence booster!  You can see how much they worked and listened in class when they hold up their final art piece!  Thank you for encouraging your artist to be creative!

Art develops problem-solving skills.  
Art engages the creative mind.
Art will allow you to express emotions that may be difficult in other ways (words / social interactions).

Art allows connection with other people.
Art develops fine motor skills.
Art is FUN!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Unleash your inner artist with drawing lessons for young creators! 
Do you have a young artist who loves drawing:

Dragons like Toothless from HTTYD or the fierce tribes of Wings of Fire?
The brave cats of Warrior Clans or the wonders of real animals?
Maybe their imagination wants to create something entirely new!
No matter what they love to draw, I'm here to help them learn and grow!

My passion is to inspire young people to:
~Find courage and confidence in their creativity.
~Master the skills to bring their artistic visions to life.
~Have fun and enjoy the process of creating.

From basic drawing techniques to exploring different mediums, my interactive classes are designed to:
~Build confidence and self-esteem.
~Spark the imagination and fuel creativity.
~Develop essential skills like observation and problem-solving.
~Most importantly, foster a lifelong love for art!

Whether your young artist is a beginner or wants to refine their skills, I have a class for them!

My journey began with sketching as a child and working on graphic designs for T-shirts as a teen.  As an adult, I have designed and painted larger-than-life murals and now teach art classes to the public.  I currently teach weekly live worldwide art classes online.  I get in-person interaction with my local events for those in the Houston, Texas, area!  

I reside in Houston, Texas, and I am a homeschooled mom of three. (2 graduated, and one will graduate in 2024).  And a proud U.S. Marine Mom!  When not putting my latest art onto paper, I can be found "pumping iron" at the gym with my husband of over 27 years. My family is very committed to saving animals, and our house is always full of foster animals from our local animal shelter!  Beware, you may see or hear a puppy, kitten, or guinea pig in a live class!

My passion is inspiring young people to find courage and confidence in their creations! Imagination is the doorway to being able to express yourself and be happy!
Motto: Be who you needed when you were younger.
