Class Experience

Would you rather draw a picture or play a game? In this class, you can do both.
During this class, the learners will be taught about lines, shapes, sketching, perspective, creating dimensions, and other drawing techniques. 
Research has shown that art is important to child development because it supports the development of problem-solving skills, and fine motor skills, and is a great indicator of future career success. Because of this, I will cover many beginning drawing techniques. Each week, I will be covering a different topic. The learners will use that topic to create their own drawings using pencils. Creativity will be encouraged throughout the class.
The class will follow the following structure:
Greetings
Demonstration/technique/topic
Drawing and Socialization time
Virtual Art Gallery
I will teach using demonstrations throughout the class. 
My teaching style is relaxed. I like to use encouragement in order to promote skill growth. 
The learners will be able to interact with me as well as with other learners throughout each lesson. To help promote socialization, we may play Would You Rather?
