In this ongoing class students will learn to draw TWO squishmallow characters each class and socialize in a safe and cheerful environment. We will draw in real time and learn the steps for drawing different characters with each weekly theme. Some characters are based on holiday themes during the week preceding a holiday. Drawing skills that we will practice include: pencil sketching, sighting/measuring, color gradient, facial expressions, and ink. During drawing time we will also encourage discussion among peers to share favorite experiences or insights related to the theme. This is a fun art class that will allow for relaxing and chatting, while sharing some giggles with friends and drawings that put us in a happy mood. Week of October 2: Halloween (ghost and Spider) Week of October 9: Halloween (candy corn and kitty witch) Week of October 16: Halloween (skeleton and mummy) Week of October 23: Halloween (3 Hocus Pocus witches) Week of October 30: Halloween (bat and vampire) *Topics are subject to changed based on student need/preference.
Learning Goals
Students will improve drawing skills such as proportion, sketching, finalizing shapes, and color gradient. Students will also practice conversation skills and enjoy a relaxing activity.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
There is a vampire, ghost, and other "scary" subjects but there is no blood or gore unless students decide to add it. I don't encourage such because squishmallows are happy by nature and we want our drawings to be cheerful. :)
Supply List
Pencils, eraser, white paper, crayons or colored pencils, and a black pen or black pencil (preferably gel-pen or fine-tip black marker).

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Brigham Young University Idaho
Hello! I am BriAnn Ongesel. I have taught online classes for over 7 years and over 2 years here on Outschool. I teach art classes to ages 5-17.
I have my bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Brigham Young University Idaho. I also studied UX/UI design from California Institute of the Arts. I am currently a freelance designer, online teacher, and mother of four.
I believe that the best learning comes from doing. Students learn from practicing the principles taught and from sharing what they learn with their peers. It is important to have fun in my classes, as well as talking with other students about class concepts and similar interests. Learning is about chasing what excites you and diving into all you can with it.
My hobbies include reading, drawing, and baking. I love good food - including 'nicecream', butternut squash, and cheesecake.
