Description

Class Experience

Join us with a willingness to create and a love for animals! You don't need to have any previous experience.

I will start the class off with introductions and the begin guiding the class through a step-by-step pencil drawing of my dog, Wilbur. Then we will add some ink to our line work and finish our illustrations with watercolor. While this class is structured so that I'm providing step-by-step instructions for learners to re-create one of my drawings, I also make space for the artists to...

To practice drawing different animal forms focusing on shapes and color
To have fun making art with peers online, sharing in a sense of creative community
To develop an appreciation for animals and their natural habitats

Drawing Pencil/pencils
Eraser
Pencil Sharpener 
Ink pen (Micron or very thin marker- must be waterproof! Ballpoint pens can work as well)

Paint brushes – 1  medium, I thin 
Mixing palette (a simple paper or plastic plate can work)
Rag/paper towel
2 cups of water (one for cleaning the brushes, one for painting)
Painter's tape and a drawing board/piece of cardboard (optional)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
