In this one time class, learners will be guided to draw a Halloween pumpkin using simple shapes. I am a qualified art teacher with over 14 years experience and I love to help students develop their abilities! All my drawing exercises are tried and tested and have helped thousands of children and adults to improve their drawing skills. Demonstrating with a second camera on my drawing, I will show how to add shading to the pumpkin and make it look more 3D. Learners will then be able to get creative and design their own scary pumpkin face! During the class there will be lots of opportunities to practise English conversation as we discuss our drawings. Students will be able to ask questions and then follow along with me while I give encouraging feedback and tips for progressing further. Where possible, I always try to include some "freestyle" time towards the end of my lessons, where learners are free to finish their drawing in whichever way they like for example adding a background. In this way they can use their imaginations to make their drawings unique to them. They are also welcome to use colour if they would like. Materials needed: Pencil, Eraser, Paper and a q-tip/cotton bud/tissue for blending. This class is a good introduction for anyone considering joining my ongoing "Everything You Need to Know About Drawing" class where we create a different drawing every week. At the end of this one-time class, learners will receive a coupon code for 50% off the first lesson of the ongoing class.
