Draw Studio: Dynamic Animal Drawing

This is a class for learners who already have some practice drawing animals, and would like to challenge themselves with more action, movement, and dynamic poses!  

In each class meeting we'll draw quick sketches of several different poses.  
Ms. Kristy demonstrates and draws along with the class.  Instruction is flexible so that students can work on developing fluid drawing skills (while still having help & support).  

Here's what's coming up:

TUESDAY CLASS:
April 1: Turtle! (and that's no joke! ;)
April 8: Peacock spider!
April 15: Glass frog!
April 22: Fresian horse!
April 29: Hedgehog!

FRIDAY CLASS:
May 2:  Serval cat!
May 9: Gorilla!
May 16:  Black-footed ferret!
May 23: Dwarf rabbit! 
May 30:  NO CLASS!!!

What is a normal class like?
  -- We'll have several photos for reference.  Ms. Kristy demonstrates how to sketch 3-4 different poses during class.  

  -- I recommend that students draw along with me for the first sketch, but then they may choose to continue adding detail, move on with me, or try a different pose on their own. 

  -- Every few minutes, I'll pause and ask if anyone would like me to check their work (optional).  
 
  -- At the very end of class, we take a few minutes to share our work with each other (also optional!).  

My teaching style is relaxed and supportive!  Although we have a significant amount of focused instruction, I love it when students get to chat and form connections with one another.  

I believe in meeting each learner where they are, and guiding their work to become a little better each time.  My goal is to help students not only draw a particular animal in a particular pose, but to help them learn observational drawing strategies that will allow them to draw anything they wish!
