This class is for learners who want to practice drawing animals, and making them look more realistic! Each week we use photo references to practice the skills of realistic drawing, shading, texture, and backgrounds. I demonstrate step-by-step how to draw a new animal each week, giving individual feedback along the way. My goal is not only to teach students how to draw a particular animal, but to help them practice the skills they need to draw anything they want! Students are encouraged to use their creativity to add or change details, as well as adding finishing touches (outline? color? shade? background? more characters? it's up to you!). Here are our upcoming subjects: MONDAY class: Nov. 4: Mandarin duck & duckling! Nov. 11: Dog (golden doodle)! Nov. 18: White-tailed deer! Nov. 25: Bald eagle! FRIDAY class: Nov. 1: Arctic fox! Nov. 8: Golden tabby tiger! Nov. 15: Snowy owl! Nov. 22: Black-footed ferret! Nov. 29: NO CLASS (Thanksgiving holiday) Lessons are interactive and I welcome student participation! Students will help choose our subjects at the end of each month for the following categories**: January--- Paws or Claws February--- Fur or Feathers March--- Scales or Skin April--- Extinct or Endangered animals May--- Fur or Feathers June--- Warm Weather animals July--- Hooved or Heavy animals August--- Paws or Claws September--- Scales or Skin October--- Invertebrates or Little Bits November--- Fur or Feathers December--- Cold Weather Creatures **If you join us for the last meeting of the month, we will spend a few of our class minutes on the suggestion/selection process. New learners are welcome to participate! ************************************************************** If you're new to Outschool you can follow this link for some handy tips to get started! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1k0xR4oZLyBipJ1w4HtgeTq9Ok7qD9JB3tL_x5KpdpUw/edit?usp=sharing To see more of Ms. Kristy's classes, visit my teacher profile here: https://outschool.com/teachers/Kristine-Mankin#us3u0MdGLD

I have taught drawing for many years, and in my observation the most effective way to teach good drawing skills is to demonstrate them. Drawing together with my students gives me the perfect forum to illustrate drawing techniques while helping them to build the critical thinking and observational skills they need to continue working on their own. My goal is to build my students' skills and confidence as young artists!Reviews
