In this 6- week art class, learners will watch the video lessons and draw along with me. The easy-to-follow steps and measuring tools are helpful in becoming more accurate in sketching faces and people. When class is over art learners will be able to, with practice, use what they learned and accurately draw faces and people. It is always exciting to see how much more realistic their artwork becomes, even the learners are surprised. After each lesson I would like to see a picture of their drawing or at least a message letting me know how it turned out. I always enjoy seeing their artwork and encourage their hard work. I will respond to each message or picture and send a personal message as soon as I can the same or the next day. My messages will include encouraging learners in areas they did well and anything they need to improve on. Having communication after each lesson gives learners an opportunity to chat about areas they are struggling in. It gives me an opportunity to encourage them as they go. The lessons will get harder and with encouragement and support throughout the lesson's learners won't get discouraged and it builds confidence that they can do it. If I don't hear from your learner, I will send a message and check in after the first week, the third week and the last week before class ends. There will be one video per lesson and a written explanation of what to expect and how to prepare for the lesson. Your art learner can draw along with me as I demonstrate step by step. With each lesson there will be an extended learning opportunities and written instructions. Extended learning opportunities are designed for more practice on the lesson's topic. I will also be encouraging art learners to be creative and come up with their own ideas and use this time in between lessons to try out their own ideas. My hope is that each art learner will be excited as they learn and will find the steps to be easy to follow. This class will equip them to be able to accurately draw a face and people. I want all art learners to have an "I can do it attitude" that will help them have the confidence to draw whatever they choose and draw it with ease. I look forward to working with your learner soon, Ms. Kristi
