Drawing Summer Camp - 1 Week/5 Days - New Topics Each Week!

Students will learn in small group zoom meetings with Cara.  Each day (Monday-Friday), students will work on a different project.  Students may need to finish projects outside of class.  Projects will change weekly, so check the schedule below to see what projects/weeks work for you!  Also, any specific materials other than the general materials list will be listed under the schedule for the week.  Classes are recorded, so if a student cannot attend a session they can always watch the video and catch up at a later time.  Students are able to chat with each other during work time, after the step-by-step instructional period.  Cara will provide conversation starters if needed.  

*All drawings for this Summer Camp are NEW.  None of my students have completed these exact drawings before.

***General Materials Needed (see below for exceptions for each week):
Paper 
Pencil/Sharpener/Eraser
Sharpie - Fine or Ultra Fine

***For all of these projects, students may want to use a variety of materials.  Any painting, drawing, and collage materials will work!  If students want to try to do some collage work too, they'll need scissors and glue in addition to collage paper.  Sturdier paper is also best for these projects, consider watercolor or mixed-media paper.  I will be using a mix of acrylic paint, paint markers, and collage.
