⭐This a one-time self-paced class. There will be no live meetings.

In this class, students will learn how to draw and watercolor paint a Sloth in the Rainforest! Designed with beginners in mind, this pre-recorded video class is suitable for ages 5-8. 

The teaching process used for the drawing portion of this class is a step-by-step method that will inspire students into creative action! This process involves observing, following instructions, and creating until each student is happy with the outcome. 

Students will learn basic drawing and watercolor painting techniques and apply these techniques to complete this project. This art class is designed to give beginner artists the skills they need to jump-start their artistic journey into self-expression, reflection, and creative thinking.

Steps to complete this project:

Video may be paused at any time. There will be no live meetings, however, I will be available for questions and gentle encouragement. 

It is important to me that your learner's experience is a positive one. My teaching style is relaxed, supportive, joyful, and fun. I encourage students to add their own details to their masterpiece to make it their own. I'm open to any comments, questions, or feedback that you may have.

Drawing and Watercolor Painting a Sloth in the Rainforest
 In this drawing and watercolor painting class, we will discuss the art supplies needed for this project. We will review composition and placement of shapes and lines on our sheet of paper. With oil pastels or crayons, we will then combine shapes and lines to create a Sloth in the Rainforest. Once our drawing is complete, we will begin painting our design. We will discuss the application of watercolor paints, how to change the value of a paint color, and how to create the look of texture.
