Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Beginner - Advanced Level
This class is great for anyone, whether you are a beginner or have more advanced experience in drawing. Regularly sketching is a great way to improve your drawing skills no matter what level you are at.

In order to get better at any skill you need to practice, and that's what your sketchbook is for! This course is full of sketchbook exercises to improve your drawing skills. Each lesson we will focus on a different type of drawing exercise or set of drawing exercises. Students will be encouraged to also practice these skills outside of class.

This is a SELF PACED class - which means there are NO LIVE CLASSES. Instructional videos will be posted for your learner to watch and draw along to, as well as optional classroom discussion. Students will be expected to also post photos of the work they have completed. The more your learner participates the more value they will get from this class!

Each student will be expected to have a sketchbook and pencils before class begins in order to participate.

NOTE: Learners should be able to use drawing tools without assistance.
