Class Experience

In this one time class students will learn to draw a realistic Koala by drawing along with me.  
The students will follow me step by step as I demonstrate by drawing the artwork along with them. We will start with our basic sketch and once we get our drawing as accurate as we can, we will move on to details-- shading, shadows, highlights and texture. There is no background knowledge or experience required to succeed in this class.

This is a new class. If you don’t see a class time listed or that works for your schedule, please click "SHOW ALTERNATIVE TIMES" just above the description, and feel free to schedule one of the available times for a class to suit your needs.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their realism with techniques of sketching first, improving accurate and learning to use shade and details to create realistic drawings.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello! My name is Jessalyn Claire and I am so thankful for Outschool. 


NOTE: Please favorite and follow my profile so you will be notified as new classes are scheduled, and please feel free to reach out with inquiries. It's my desire to be able to offer more than I offer currently, so expect to see more opportunities for your student to learn with me. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a lifelong artist and more recently, the author and illustrator of an award winning children's book called Little Birder. It is a non-fiction alphabet book about birds.
I am inspired by the curiosity that comes naturally to children which I have to work diligently to cultivate as an adult. I wanted to create a beautiful resource that encourages children to be curious and observe the world around them. (Ask for information.)

The best thing about being an artist is that art can go hand in hand with just about any topic. Many of my classes will involve nature and observation. Character building skills like curiosity, observation, expressing emotions through art are just some of the skills that are incorporated into my art lessons. 

I also like to help kids who are ready to begin mastering art and observation skills gain confidence in themselves through teaching methods that improve the results of their art. 
I help kids realize anyone can be an artist and help improve their skills with a few “tricks.” Tricks like anatomy and proportions, seeing negative space, and recognizing underlying shapes. I love watching as kids improve drastically in just one lesson, and gain the confidence in their skill that will become the foundations of their creativity through art. 
My art classes are fun, but they're best for students who are passionate about improving their art skills.
