The dragons will be started in class but not completely finished, so students can add more details and take their time to really perfect their drawings. Since they will then have the ability to draw any type of dragon, they can make an entire colored or black and white dragon guide book on their own time as desired. Students will also be encouraged to take a photo of their finished drawing posted on the classroom page after class, so the class can have a virtual art show.Assessment
There will be no formal assessment, but I will look at each dragon to give the students help as needed and to encourage them to continue their with their creative drawing skills.Class Experience
In this one-time art class, I’ll teach each student how to draw both Eastern dragons like Mushu from Disney’s "Mulan" and Western dragons like Toothless from Dreamwork’s "How to Train your Dragon" series. I will demonstrate one step at a time on my whiteboard as each students copies that step onto their own paper. As students draw, they can show me their dragons as needed on the camera, so I can offer individual help. In addition, students will also learn how they can alter the steps I demonstrate in order to create a variety of dragons. I’ll also be explaining as students draw, the history and mythology of the dragons seen in movies and tv shows, read in books, and created in art, and why the styles of dragons are different in Western versus Eastern cultures. Once the class is finished, I’ll give each student access to a step-by-step guide that has a picture of each step demonstrated in class and written directions, so students can continue to draw as many dragons as they wish even after the class ends.
Learning Goals
This class will teach students how to draw by breaking down subject matter into basic lines and shapes, doing simple steps first, and later adding more details.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students will learn the origin of both Western and Eastern dragons as well as common mythology.
Supply List
You will need to bring a pencil and eraser, a black pen or marker, and two white papers to class. White plastic erasers work the best, but pink rubber eraser work too. You can use just plain white copy paper too or paper from a sketchbook. Any size is fine. If you use a wooden pencil, bring a pencil sharpener or extra pencils in case yours break. If you have a mechanical pencils, make sure you have plenty of graphite/ lead in the pencil.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
