Draw Together: Magical, Legendary, & Cryptid Creatures
Class Experience
US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner - Intermediate Level
Welcome to 'Draw Together,' where every week is an exciting journey inspired by stories from around the world! We kick off each class by hearing the origins and epic tales of our chosen creature before then drawing it together. Students have the option to follow my step-by-step guidance or unleash their own creativity to craft their unique interpretation. In the drawing portion of class, we use reference photos to practice using observational drawing to enhance our imaginative drawing...
- Students practice bringing ideas to life, on paper, using both imagination and observational drawing skills. Some may choose to include additional media practice such as ink, watercolor, colored pencil, or even digital media.
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 is a great format 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!

While no previous drawing classes are required, students who are comfortable sketching will find themselves particularly at home in this class. Students may draw in their own style, but still having the option to follow my demonstration.
All you'll need is drawing paper (or a sketch book), a pencil, and an eraser! If you'd like, you may add color to your work! Colored pencils, markers, ink, watercolors, are applauded but not required. You may even work in a digital medium if you so desire :).
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
We'll be discussing the stories and mythologies of creatures from a range of cultural origins. Students are encouraged to keep discussion and story elements that they share "PG-rated" in consideration of their peers.
