In this ongoing class, students will be learning to draw a cool cat and use different drawing mediums each week to stylize it. We will break down the cat into simple shapes and then refine our drawing. Drawing techniques will cover shading, highlights, mark making, texturizing, blending, and rendering as needed for the specific project. (Drawing Animals)

Lessons will be in a "work with me format" with visual and audio step-by-step instructions. I will show my finished work at the start of class as an example along with the supplies needed to create it. Art freedom and fun will be emphasized in a relaxed setting. Students will be encouraged to add their creative personal touches to their work. I will offer a sharing event at the end of the class and/or I will encourage students to upload their finished work to the classroom after it dries to share with me and their art friends.

REVIEWS of this class by awesome parents and learners like you!
"My 9 year old boy LOVES art and cats, and this class is the best of both worlds.  He says every week that the class is the highlight of his week.  Special appearances by student's cats are always fun and enjoyable.  I'm always impressed by the artwork that he completes during class.  Miss Michelle is so encouraging and engaging."
"Great class, even for beginners. My son said the teacher made it easy to follow along. He was very proud of his finished drawing."
"My daughter loves Michelle's classes and was excited to be able to take this one! Each class stretches her artistic skills, and Michelle always lets my daughter explore and express her own creativity as well :)"
