Step into a world of imagination and creativity! In this ongoing drawing class, students will learn to design magical flower fairies inspired by real flowers from around the world. Each week, we'll start with a flower, explore its shape, color, and fun facts, and then use those elements to create a unique fairy character—from their outfit and wings to their personality and magical powers! We'll practice drawing techniques such as sketching basic body shapes and proportions, creating expressive faces, designing outfits based on petal and leaf forms, and exploring line work, shading, and simple color blending. As students gain confidence, we'll begin adding whimsical backgrounds like enchanted forests, secret gardens, mushroom villages, or sparkly night skies to bring our fairies' world to life. In every class, we’ll also talk about character development, asking questions like: Where does this fairy live? What are their powers or favorite hobbies? Do they help plants grow or protect woodland animals? Students will be encouraged to name their fairy, describe their personality, and even imagine their role in the fairy world. If time allows, we’ll add magical details like tiny companions, glowing trails, or sparkling accessories to complete the scene! This class is perfect for creative kids who love to draw and dream, and is suitable for beginner to intermediate artists ready to grow their drawing skills while telling fun, fantasy stories through their art.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to use the shapes, colors, and features of real flowers to inspire creative fairy designs.
Students will practice proportion, expression, costume details, and basic poses while learning to personalize their fairy art.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Fine/Studio Arts from Elizabethtown College
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art with a concentration in Drawing and a Business Administration minor. Since 2017, I’ve been teaching both in schools and online, helping students grow as artists.
I specialize in black-and-white drawing, particularly with #2 pencils, drawing pencils, and charcoal, and I’ve written an 80-page paper on Renaissance techniques. I also teach color theory with crayons, colored pencils, pastels, and blending markers, and I can guide students in acrylic and watercolor painting.
Areas of Expertise:
Portraits & Figure Drawing – Understanding facial proportions, anatomy, and shading to create realistic drawings.
Dragons & Fantasy Creatures – Designing imaginative creatures with dynamic poses and textures.
Flowers (Especially Roses) – Drawing flowers with attention to detail, layering, and shading.
Still Life – Teaching students how to see and draw objects accurately, while practicing different shading techniques like cross-hatching and blending.
Mashables – A fun exercise where students combine two ideas (e.g., an animal and a fairy) to push their creativity and break away from realism.
I focus on teaching art fundamentals like composition, shape breakdown, and shading techniques. My classes are all about encouraging students to experiment, build their skills, and find their unique artistic voice.
