This class provides brand-new lessons, every single week, for TWO YEARS.  Therefore, a lesson taken on December 10, 2024 will not repeat until around December 10, 2026. Again, I will teach two years of brand-new material, in every single class.  Students are always welcome to repeat a lesson, which they have already taken.  In fact, I recommend this, as it could strengthen skills and build an art portfolio with clear comparisons of growth, over time.

Together, we will draw a new animal each week by using basic shapes, lines and step-by-step instruction.

Class begins with CLUES about the mystery animal we are about to draw.
Students will be presented with photos of the animal, child-friendly animal-centered jokes and fun facts.
I use two cameras (one overhead and one forward facing) to provide a live directed drawing.
Students will use and identify colors and shapes. 
Students will be encouraged to add creative elements to their background.
Students will be gently encouraged to show their final drawing to one another, however sharing is never required. 
Students will be encouraged to upload photos of their artwork each week to the classroom page, however, this is not required.
We will have an ART-tastic time discussing the qualities of each other's artwork, finding the differences and beauty in unique details.
Students will be encouraged to practice their animal drawing skills and will have time, at the start of each class, to show their progress.
.
I encourage group conversation by asking questions to each student, however, am understanding of students who prefer to draw quietly.  I strive to make sure each student feels included, comfortable and happy during my classes.

*SCHEDULE CHANGES?* If your schedule changes: I am happy to transfer students into a different time if given 24-hour notice.
.
*ABSENT?*  Please request a recording of missed classes.  Typically, I am happy to send recordings and offer help/feedback to verified learners.  However, access to class recordings is not guaranteed.  All classes begin on time, as long as one learner is in the classroom.  In the event that no students are in the classroom at the assigned class time, I will exit after 10 minutes.  In addition, there are rare events where recordings must remain private to ensure learner safety.  Outschool's policy states that recordings are shared per teacher discretion.    No refunds will be given for missed classes.
