In this one-time class, learners will brainstorm different qualities and attributes of their dragon, describe those features to other learners, create a backstory for their dragon character, and then draw their very own dragon! #creative
Class experience
Learners in this class will be able to interact with one another in brainstorming the characteristics, abilities, and special powers of their dragon character, developing a backstory for that dragon, and then creating what their dragon might look like. Students are welcome to use any materials they're inspired to use; I'll demonstrate introductory basics of penciling and inking, and show them some illustration tools, but students should feel free to try out whatever techniques they like, use...
This class is taught in English.
Students will be able to brainstorm ideas and then create a drawing of their own choice based on those various ideas about their dragon. They will develop a character, and possibly name their dragon, and learn about different ways to draw their dragon (penciling, inking, sketching, spatial awareness and perspective, basic color theory) as well as creating a backstory for their dragon if they would like to do so.
I have taught drawing lessons and story brainstorming this lesson many times in my afterschool teaching work and as part of other classes with a variety of different topics. I have a background in arts education with students, and I am a working artist who makes these types of illustrations regularly.

Learners will need paper on which to draw (any kind of paper is fine; I use 8.5 x 11 white printer paper in my demonstrations but learners can use any paper they like) and materials to draw and color with (pencil, eraser, Sharpies, markers, colored pencils, crayons, watercolor -- the learner is welcome to use whatever they would like).
