Because of how detailed this drawing is, there is a good chance students will need to finish their work outside of the designated class time.Assessment
Students will be assessed throughout class and at the end of class through questions and/or sharing of drawings.Class Experience
In this one-time art class, students will learn to draw a jolly Santa Claus with his bag of toys, checking his list twice. I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me. My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative environment where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged and a great place for students to make lasting friendships. I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding. Students may also interact with each other if they want to share what they have learned during class. Students who enroll in this class should have basic drawing skills, like drawing and manipulating shapes with a pencil. Please check below for specific learning goals of this class and supplies needed. What will students learn? 1. Students will learn techniques for sketching a proportionate contour drawing (outline) of Santa Claus (full body), using pencil. 2. Students will learn techniques for smooth blending, pencil application, gradient blending, and adding contrast. 3. Students will learn techniques to create white hair texture, using pencil and an eraser. 4. Students will learn techniques to create highlights on Santa's suit, using pencil and an eraser. 5. Students will learn a few facts about the history of Santa Claus.

Art Teacher π¨ / Middle Grade Fantasy Author π/ Children's Book Illustrator π
β¨Welcome to my teacher page! β¨
After graduating with Bachelor's Degrees in Elementary and Early Childhood Education, I decided to make the leap of starting my author and illustrator career. Since then, I have written and illustrated my first middle grade fantasy book, Brush of Magic, with many more in the works!
Along with running my own art and book shop, I design and teach a variety of drawing and painting classes, ranging from realistic sketching, watercolor painting, fantasy drawing, and illustration. I have taught for about 9 years, 4 of which have been specific to art. I love the time I get to spend with my students, creating art, and chatting about booksβespecially if the books and art are whimsical or magical!
All the artwork, books, and stationary designs in my shop are created by me. I often find inspiration for my art and books through reading, spending time with my cats and dogs, and brainstorming imaginary creatures in my sketchbook.
Thank you for stopping by! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to help.π
