In this course, artists will learn how to draw a "hipster" style bear. Artists will practice and learn drawing and mark making techniques while using their imaginations.

Class Experience

Artists will learn how to draw a "hipster" bear in detail through directed drawing and mark making techniques. On day one of this two day class, artists will follow along with a directed drawing of a bear. Artists will then begin adding fun and personal details such as glasses, hats, sweaters and other unexpected items to their animals as well as patterns on the different accessories. Day one will end with a show and tell of our drawings in progress. Artists will have the opportunity to share...

Students will become familiar with the art elements line and texture. They will be able to create implied texture through the use of mark making and line. Students will also become familiar with the art principle of pattern. Additional art vocabulary and ideas covered: composition, subject, value and craftsmanship.

I have both a bachelors and masters degree in art education as well as my teaching certification. I have been teaching art for over 13 years! In addition to teaching, I am also a practicing artist. My mediums include: painting, drawing, wood burned and copper enamel jewelry, sculpting and printmaking.

No official homework will be required. If artists are unable to finish their work within the time frame of the class, they will be equipped with the knowledge needed to complete the project on their own.

Sheet of white paper (12"x18" is recommended but not required) 
extra scrap paper to practice mark making on
pencil
eraser
black ink pen or ultra fine tip sharpie
regular sharpie marker
Something to color with: markers, crayons, oil pastels etc.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Informal "formative" assessment will be provided during class. I will provide feedback to each individual student throughout the class.

1 hour 15 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
