Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner - Advanced Level
**PLEASE NOTE** This is a SELF-PACED class and is PRE-RECORDED. THIS MEANS STUDENTS WILL WATCH THE PRE-RECORDED VIDEO. There are no live meetings. All interactions between students and the teacher will happen on the class page.
This class will be presented via pre-recorded demonstration drawings. Students will engage in questions, class discussions on the classroom tab, assignments and be part of an artist critique, which will be guided by the instructor.

Why Self-Paced?
*MY Self-Paced classes ALWAYS cost less than the live versions of the same class!
*Self-Paced classes are an excellent choice for families with busy schedules. 
*Content is exactly the same as live classes, at a lower fee.
*Students can work at an independent pace. 
*Self-Paced classes are fantastic for international students whose time zone doesn't match the teacher's (US Mountain Time),
*Self-Paced classes are a great alternative for students who are uncomfortable with live video chat.

Our Self-Paced format will be as follows: 
Content: Video demonstration of the process will be posted. Videos will vary in length depending on the type of art being presented. Some may be as short as 10 or 15 minutes while others could be ½ hour or more. Student work is expected to take anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour, depending upon the student’s preferred pace. 

Drawing Assignments: Students spend time completing their artwork and submit it via the classroom.

Submit Assignment: Students are required to post photos of their completed artwork in the classroom on the designated post. Keep in mind, uploading artwork for the teacher to see is important for assessment and feedback.

Specific details as to what is covered in each class session can be found in the syllabus.

Learning Goals

Students will practice their drawing skills by drawing a favorite animal that they feel they are good at drawing (can be very simple or very detailed; student choice).
Students will learn to smoothly blend paint for their painted backgrounds

Syllabus

3 Lessons
over 3 Weeks
Lesson 1:
Painting the Background
 We will paint the background with blue, white and black acrylic paints. While painting, students will think about their favorite animals, what traits are most  appealing to them, and consider their favorite animal for the drawing. 
16 mins of video lessons
Lesson 2:
Drawing the Patron Animal
 Students will practice drawing their chosen animal. Having printed images and/or google search images available for study and copy is strongly recommended. Teacher help will be available as needed. 
12 mins of video lessons
Lesson 3:
Finishing the Art
 We will redraw the animal on the painting with pencil and trace with a paint marker (strongly recommended; see materials list. Then we will use white chalk to blend around the outside of the animal to give a mysterious, wispy effect. 
9 mins of video lessons

Other Details

Pre-Requisites
General drawing skill is very helpful
Supply List
Students will need the following supplies:
(I found all of the following inexpensively at Walmart; another option is to order them from Amazon)
paper for writing
sketch or drawing paper
pencil, sharpener, eraser
Acrylic paint in black, blue and white(can be craft paint in bottles, or artist's paint in tubes)
Heavy watercolor paper or canvas panel, any size between 8X10 and 11X14 is ideal
Art or Craft Paint brush, 3/4 to 1"
White Sharpie paint marker (oil based) or white acrylic paint marker 
White chalk (I found a box of 12 pieces of white Crayola chalk at Dollar Tree for $1)
Also: Bowl of water, newspaper to place under the painting, and paper towels to blot brush during painting session. An apron or old shirt is also strongly recommended, as acrylic paint does not easily wash out of clothes.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
Any kinds of images students can find of the animal(s) they are interested in drawing.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Colorado Teaching Certificate
Master's Degree in Education from University of Colorado, Boulder - Degree DOES NOT EXPIRE
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Metropolitan State College of Denver - Degree DOES NOT Expire
As a licensed art teacher, I have developed techniques for breaking down drawing lessons into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Once we get the basics done, I give my students freedom to complete their project using their own imagination, thereby giving them the opportunity to take what I have taught them to a different, fun and creative level.
