In this ongoing class students will draw different types of dragons each week from the How To Train Your Dragon movie and TV series. Students will learn to use the elements of drawing such as line, shape, textures, form, and space to create their own pencil drawings. This class is a drawing class. We will not be reading any of the books, or watching any movies or series episodes during live class meetings. Students may discuss the books, movies, and TV Series during class and it should be noted that SPOILERS MAY OCCUR! Students will also gain practice drawing individual parts or trouble spots of dragons that sometimes cause frustration for young artists. Extra videos will be linked in the classroom for students to practice with outside of class. The biological, anatomical, and habitat inspirations of each dragon will also be discussed. This class is for kids who love dragons, the How To Train Your Dragon book, movie, and TV Series, and who also love to draw. Students will be directed step by step how to draw each dragon using a slide show and live digital drawing technique. Shading and coloring techniques will also be demonstrated though students may use any technique or medium they choose to complete their drawings. Students may use any drawing/coloring supplies they have on hand and are comfortable with though different mediums may be demonstrated.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an artist and photographer specializing in fine art, photography, and art education. I am also an avid reader and I love to discuss books and draw out my ideas and perceptions from them. In addition, I have been a homeschool educator for 16 years. I have taught children's art classes privately and through local after school and children's museum programs. Her photography has appeared in Parents Magazine and numerous photography blogs. I enjoy finding connections between things that don't seem connected upon first glance. To do that, I divide things down to their simplest parts and look for similarities. As a result I am able to break down seemingly complicated projects into simple step by step lessons. I also have a great appreciation for irony in art and life and try to infuse humor and silliness in my lessons and in my own work as well.
