This is a fun and relaxing ongoing art class for young artists to practice drawing and painting colorful, vibrant ocean/sea/underwater animals. This class is catered to learners who want to practice adding details to their drawings. Learners will explore movement, form, lines, space, patterns, resist technique, and color harmony while discovering their artistic flow. We will focus on the creative process rather than the finished product so that learners can build their confidence in their own creative abilities. Learners are encouraged to use additional materials to bring more personality and creativity to their art. At the beginning of each class, learners will first greet and introduce themselves. Young artists will then follow along as I demonstrate step-by-step instructions on how to draw different ocean creatures in a fun, flowing way. We will then paint and combine mediums using an easygoing approach. Learners are free to socialize and ask questions if needed along the way. Learners may also discuss fun facts about the different underwater animals. Young artists will use crayons, oil pastels, markers, and watercolor to paint their sea creatures. During class, I will use two cameras so that learners can follow along. I create a warm and engaging environment for learners to socialize and make friends while expressing themselves through art. This class is designed with beginners in mind.
