This ongoing drawing class will cover different methods and techniques each week. We will talk about the different tools used in drawng and the different line weights and strokes used in drawing. This class will explore shading, shape, light source, different shading methods and most of all, creativity! Each week we will draw a new creature, adding features from our own creative brains. I will coach the learners on different approaches to each week's monster or beast or alien. We will look at how to bend the reality of anatomy to create some really uniquely odd beings. Each week is an independent lesson so students will be able to jump in at any point.

I will be addressing the learners' drawings and giving pointers and encouragement. The students will be able to ask questions, following step by step. Any skill level can drop in at any time. The more they practice and join the more skills they will learn and they will become confident in their artistic abilities.
Learning Goals
Students will learn basic to advanced sketching skills. Including perspective, shading, line weight, stroke techniques, proportions, and foreshortening. Students will learn how to use the arm to draw, how to set up a drawing, and the tools of drawing. Students will also be learning to cultivate new ideas and bring them from the mind to the page. They will learn that mistakes are opportunities for creativity.

We teach anything art, creativity, and design. From beginning Sketching to advance techniques. Art is learning how to see and use a basic skill toolbox. Once you learn these things anyone can add your style and become an artist or designer. Design and art are everywhere around us, graphic design, architecture, product design, fashion design and so much more. It is fun and exciting. A great adventure to explore your creative side!
Our drawing classes focus on confidence build and skill development. We work with the students to help them feel good about whatever level of drawing/creating they are at. Good just comes with time and practice. Confidence and enjoyment are the key components to creating fun, and sometimes great art. All of our classes are stand-alone lessons that any student from any level is welcome to join. Our goal isn't to build fantastic drawings everytime, but to practice hand-eye coordination and a positive mindset while drawing.
