I Can Draw Animals!
Class experience
Beginner - Advanced Level
Curriculum: These are drawing lessons with a scientific flare. In the beginning of the lesson, students will learn about the animal (or occasionally plant) subject of the day! We'll learn some animal facts and have a live drawing lesson. In addition to being an artist, I'm a very big animal nerd and have worked as a wildlife docent. This is definitely a passion project of mine. I'll send photo references for drawing prior to the lesson and provide step-by-step instructions on drawing each...
Students will learn introductory sketching and inking drawing techniques. Each week we will practice breaking down forms into simple shapes, then developing sketches into finished products. Each weekly animal subject will have different forms, textures, expressions, etc. It's our weekly goal to capture the animal subject in a compelling art piece. We'll learn different techniques for creating volume, texture, and shading. Through practice, repetition, and skill development we should see improvements over time, so keep your early pieces so you can look back at them later!
Alexis has ten years of experience teaching art. I'm also a big nerd and have worked and volunteered in wildlife rehabilitation centers and exotic animal sanctuaries.
Paper, fine point black pen, pencil, eraser, and a pencil sharpener. Colored pencils are encouraged, but not required. Please also print the photo references prior to the class start time.
