Class Experience

In this drawing class, we’ll learn about modern faux calligraphy and apply the technique to hand letter the word “create” with style and movement. We’ll also add a shadow to the letters and small touches to create balance and vibrancy. We’ll then add a paint brush and pencil below with some small flair and embellishments to complete the piece. This is a perfect art class for beginner to intermediate artists who want to learn the skill of faux modern calligraphy!

Students will be guided step-by-step and given creative liberty to change and adapt their compositions as we draw together. 

Card stock is preferred (but not required) for this class as we’re aiming to create a sturdy wall-art piece. Students can also choose color options they prefer most. 

***Please note, some students may not have time to finish coloring their picture in class depending on their optimal drawing speed. I will work at a steady pace and frequently gage where students are at during the lesson. It is my goal to help them finish their drawing, but sometimes this doesn’t allow for coloring completion before class is over. Thank you for understanding.***

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Univeristy of Phoenix
I am a former Art Teacher and had the privilege of teaching Art for 2 years to K-8th grade students using various mediums and forms. A lot of my class instruction was teaching the art of drawing. Weekly, we drew various compositions ranging from seasonal landscapes, wild animals, nature, and portraits. Students enjoyed learning skills to create realistic drawings while adding as much flare and creative variation as they liked. Watching students enjoy making art and grow in their own confidence was truly a priceless gift. In addition to teaching art, I am an artist and have an art studio in my home. I've used my love for hand-lettering and design to start a business in 2015 selling products with my work. It's been so fun!
