1 hour per week. practice your brush strokesClass Experience
In this multi-week course, we will go over different line strokes and brush strokes that are most commonly used in realistic animal designs. We will work together each step of the way to practice and complete our designs on ourselves or another person (any willing model). This course is genderless, anyone can be a Cat! I am a professional Face and Body Painter, so I will be explaining the differences between safe practices and products. The products listed have been tried and tested by myself, as well as by students in my in-person classes. I do not recommend using anything that is not labeled as cosmetic grade and hypoallergenic/antimicrobial. Week #1- Line work, brush strokes, getting used to different brushes and textures. We will first practice using those techniques on our hands/arms, then our faces. We will work on a simpler cat design. Week#2- Transform into a Feline! Meow Week #3- Transform into another Feline! Week #4- Transform into another fierce Feline! Students will be applying makeup close to their eyes and mouth. Please patch test prior to class to ensure your purchased products are safe for your learner. Parents/Guardians: Feel free to be your learner's model for this course :)

Hi There!
I'm Lori...a graduate of F.I.T in NYC. I've worked in different areas of the design industry since 1991, from illustration, pattern making, garment construction to designing full story boards for buyers. I tutored Fashion Illustration for a few years to help other students complete their professional portfolios before their interviews. Besides getting creative, I LOVE animals! I have quite a few furry little beasts. Right now, my profession is Graphic Design, but fashion illustration and design is still what I do when I need to unwind from technology. I believe that once you learn the basics of how to get that creativity out of your mind and onto paper, you open up a whole new world, being able to share and build on your talents.

As an alumni of Cleveland Institute of Art with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Game Design they have a passion for interactive art and how they can push the boundaries of what interactive art means. Having been a visual arts assistant at their old high school Interlochen Arts Academy during the summers, teaching others and seeing the joy in what people create has motivated Rori to pursue teaching. In their free time Rori likes to aquascape. Creating aquariums of any variety of sizes and making little beautiful habitats for their favorite type of fish a Betta fish, they currently have 2 bettas and 4 tanks.

*Ms. Robinson
She/Her
Throughout my career in education, I have developed a strong foundation for fostering creativity and critical thinking among students. I have had the privilege of designing and implementing art programs that engage learners and inspire them to explore their unique artistic voices in many afterschool programs since 2019. My extensive experience across various mediums—such as painting, yarn and needlework, jewelry making, and digital arts—has equipped me with the versatility to adapt my teaching methods and cater to diverse learning styles.
*Teacher Jonathan
I have been working in the design/visual arts world for the last 6 years. From designing websites, to doing personal commissions, art is something I’m very passionate about. I had the chance to live in New York for the last 3 years, and had the opportunity to visit world-renowned museums and galleries such as The Met, MoMA, Guggenheim etc. I also curated an Art Gallery with over 200 artworks from local artists in upstate NY. I’m thrilled to bring my experience to these lessons and share that enthusiasm with my students.
