This class is for 11-14 year-olds. Look in my schedule for this same class geared to 7-10 year-olds. Drawing features are hard. Let me help you! In this one time class, we will draw an eye, a nose, and a mouth step by step while learning about shapes, light and shadow, anatomy, and line. Learners will shade in the eye and are encouraged to use what they learned to shade in the nose and mouth at home. All levels are welcome. Step 1: Shapes We will learn to identify and accurately draw the big shapes to set a strong foundation. Step 2: Light and Shadow We will learn to pinpoint the light and shadow to give the drawing more depth. Step 3: Anatomy We will learn to identify anatomical points to make our drawing feel more believable. Step 4: Line We will learn to purposely manipulate the way we draw (line) to give the drawing even more depth. This class will be interactive. Learners will work together to pinpoint the steps in my drawing or example first before individually working on their own drawings. Plenty of examples and demos will be provided and explained. The class atmosphere will be light, and questions will be welcome at anytime. Individualized, constructive critiques and praise will be given at the end of class! BONUS: These steps can be applied to any drawing. Although we are focusing on facial features for this class, learners will be able to apply these steps to help them figure out how to draw other subjects that they like at home!
Learning Goals
Learners will understand how to look for important shapes, will be able to pinpoint light and shadow, will learn some anatomy, and will be able to manipulate the way we draw create depth.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I graduated from Grand Central Atelier in New York City where I was trained to draw and paint realistically in a traditional way. While I usually draw realistically, I also enjoy using this approach to draw in different styles. My goal is to teach children the tools of drawing and give them the opportunity to practice applying them so that they will be able to draw what they want independently.Reviews
