In this one-time art course, students will learn how to draw Mei Lee as the Red Panda from Disney's Turning Red. Students will learn techniques for providing detail, depth, texture, and volume to their drawing while receiving step-by-step instruction on how to draw a realistic version of the Red Panda. We will cover tips for drawing accurate body shapes, highly expressive cartoon-style faces, and working with small details (such as the frayed edges of the Red Panda's fur) during class time. 

While step-by-step instruction will be provided, students are also welcome to add their own creativity to their drawings and work at their own pace. For more advanced students, additional tips and tricks will be provided during class time for backgrounds and accessories.

As the movie, Turning Red, is about experiencing and overcoming embarrassing moments commonly experienced by children during their formative and pre-teen years, there will also be an open discussion about this subject for students in class. Students are never required to participate in informal discussion but are always welcome to do so if they choose. Any students who wish to remain silent during class time are welcome as well. 

My classes are all highly interactive and usually we share a surprise at the end, such as a mystery bag opening or a magic trick.

- These are WYSIWIG art classes: What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get! All thumbnails, promotional materials, class resources, and in-class drawings are original art produced by Marie (the teacher). Students are often offered a variety of reference images and resources from popular art styles to choose so they can draw in their preferred style, but special focus is paid to developing student's original art skills and not simply copying another artist. All images, drawings or other art resources are never taken from other artists to use as promotional materials.
