Class Experience
*This class is available upon request - please message me for more information* In this one-time private drawing class we will focus on learning a drawing technique that most interests your young artist. Topics can range from different classic styles such as portrait, landscape, still life, or, a piece based on the subject of your student's choice such as animal drawings, all done in an environment that will allow the artists to receive 1-on-1 attention catered specifically to their learning needs. This taster private lesson is geared specifically for students who love to draw and are looking to learn from not only a studio trained artist, but a teacher who has years of experience working with children from ages 4 to 15, including those with unique learning styles and/or physical/intellectual disabilities. We can cover topics from understanding the basic structure of a face, to drawing caricatures; drawing natural landscapes or using perspective to draw cityscapes; or we can focus on the importance of light and shadow in a still life, and practice drawing different textures. The possibilities are endless! Here is a breakdown of what to expect in each lesson: - Greeting - Introduction to the art technique and assignment - Time to demonstrate, create - Closing/ Goodbye
Learning Goals
In this on-going lesson students will learn an art technique that is specific to them. My artistic background allows for large variety of lessons that can be prearranged to meet the young artists interests. Aspiring artists can learn a wide variety of pencil shading techniques. We can practice drawing still life's, portraits, and landscapes using the various techniques as a reference. Students can learn how to correctly draw the dimensions of a realistic face, as well as draw more abstract portraits and caricatures. They can also learn about the Principles and Elements of Design and how to apply them in their own works of art. The purpose of these 1-to-1 lessons are to meeting the young artists specific interests and help them learn, and love what they create!
