Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner Level
This is a 3-Day Course.  Students will meet 3 times in a week to complete Part 1.

Students will explore the enchanting world of hybrid creatures by combining the delicate features of butterflies with human form to create magical fairies. Students will begin by studying the anatomy and delicate wing structures of butterflies and how to seamlessly integrate these elements with human characteristics. Through guided exercises, they will practice the fundamentals of proportion and anatomy, by practicing human figures in dance poses to capture the delicate gestures of creatures in flight. By combining both human and butterfly elements with creative design, students will have the tools to illustrate their own unique fairy characters, showcasing their ability to blend natural elements with imaginative artistry.

Students who have completed this class are recommended to join Part 1 & 3 where they will create dragons and fantasy landscaping. Please see links below:
