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. 

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.

Learners may need to complete their drawings at home. I know I always needed more time! Questions and critiques are welcome after class finishes through the Outschool messaging system. 

Optional: Learners are encouraged to practice using these steps when drawing anything they want at home. 

Individual, constructive critiques and praise are given at the end of class. 

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

We will refer to drawing examples from the book "Charles Bargue and Jean-Leon Gerome: Drawing Course". All examples are provided in class. Learners only need their paper, pencils, sharpeners, and erasers!
