Description
Class Experience
Students will learn specific drawing techniques directly related to a fictional text. Students will learn specific techniques for original character creation including using elements of different existing canon characters to create new ones. Students will be given practice in giving and receiving feedback on their artwork.
I am an artist and photographer specializing in fine art, photography, and art education. I am also an avid reader and I love to discuss books and draw out my ideas and perceptions from them. In addition, I have been a homeschool educator for 16 years. I have taught children's art classes privately and through local after school and children's museum programs. Her photography has appeared in Parents Magazine and numerous photography blogs. I enjoy finding connections between things that don't seem connected upon first glance. To do that, I divide things down to their simplest parts and look for similarities. As a result I am able to break down seemingly complicated projects into simple step by step lessons. I also have a great appreciation for irony in art and life and try to infuse humor and silliness in my lessons and in my own work as well.
Students should complete their unfinished drawings. Students will also given practice exercise to focus on specific dragon anatomy and posing each week.
***SUPPLIES REQUIRED: Students may complete their drawings with whatever medium they chose such as marker, colored pencil, or watercolor. Tips will be given for the media they are using.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Students will be invited to share their artwork with the class each week as well as areas they feel they are improving on and areas they may still need extra practice on.
1 hour 40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
This class is a drawing class. We will not be reading any of the books during live class meetings. Students may discuss the books during class and it should be noted that spoilers may occur.
