Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Students learn techniques for improving their art skills level with drawing and shading the basic shapes:  the cube, sphere, cylinder and the cone.
Student will apply the shading  (values) that makes their image look 3 dimensional, which includes discussion about value and the drawing pencils.
Attention will be directed for helping them understand the different drawing pencils and the purpose of a value scale.  Each class is a different dynamic and some will need more help with different shapes than another.  The student needs to have some basic skill for drawing a circle and a square.

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to accurately draw and shade basic shapes beginning with the cube and the sphere; depending on their skill level, other shapes like the cylinder and the cone may be included.
Students will learn how to use drawing pencils.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
I have been a practicing Artist and Teacher in the public school system for 25 years. I believe that the basics create a strong foundation for learning and allowing students to gain the confidence they need for continuing with their own drawing style and future artistic projects.  I have learned that making mistakes is part of the process and the more comfortable students get with that concept, the better their artwork turns out.
