Draw Together: Dynamic Animal Drawing
Class Experience
This is a class for kids who 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: July 2: Flaring Betta fish! July 9: ...
- Students will practice drawing from observation, with particular focus on how to render dynamic poses that include elements of action, overlapping, foreshortening, forced perspective, and other drawing challenges.
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!
Students will need the following materials each week: Drawing paper or sketchbook Pencil & eraser (OR digital drawing tablet) Students may add other media if desired!
