Welcome to a social club where sharing both your fanart from your beloved fandoms, and your designs for your very own OCs (Original Characters), takes center stage! All artists are welcome here! Whether you’re a digital art enthusiast or a traditional sketching devotee, whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, this is your space to explore, grow, connect and share your art with fellow creatives just like you! As an educator, I believe that art is a powerful way to connect with others. Do you have a passion for reimagining your favorite characters from anime, books, video games, and movies? Do you love bringing OCs to life with fresh and inventive flair? This is the perfect place to share your fan art, and showcase the OCs you’ve created! This social club thrives on the joy of creating and sharing in a supportive and accepting environment. I am passionate about providing a warm, welcoming and inclusive space where you can showcase your fan art and OC artwork with fellow artists who share your passion! Maybe you will even find inspiration for your next art project! All of my classes are inclusive for ALL learners. As such, they are ESL, neurodivergent and autism friendly. Class 1 **Artistic Techniques and Styles**: Today we will discuss our favorite techniques, tools, and styles. What works best for different types of fan art and OCs?

Hello! My name is Teacher Mary and I have been teaching English Language Arts and creative writing in the Canadian school system for over 20 years now! Teaching is truly my passion! I hold a Bachelor's Degrees in both English Literature and History. Further, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Education with an advanced degree in Teaching English as A Second Language. And finally, I completed my Master's Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing in 2012. I am legally certified to teach Kindergarten to Grade 12 in both the provinces of British Columbia, and Quebec, Canada. I take pride in helping my students learn to express themselves through various creative mediums, be it art or creative writing. As a mother of three teenage daughters, I absolutely understand the very real anxiety and self-doubt so many of our children are battling. I truly believe that the act of self expression through artistic mediums can be a wonderful outlet for evacuating stress and negative emotions. I strive to create classes for my students that are exciting, interactive, and fun!
