What's included

Class Experience

THIS IS NOT A LIVE CLASS. 
This class will be taught through 5, pre-recorded sessions. 

During this introductory class, you will learn basic techniques on how to draw a realistic human face. I will teach you the placement of facial features and their proportions. You will provide a personal photograph or a magazine photo of a person’s face, looking forward. (The larger, the better) Each of our faces will vary in shape and proportion because we are all unique. 

I will demonstrate these techniques, as you use those instructions on your own sketch pad at home during the class. You will utilize a photo of your choice to draw from. (Print out please or use magazine picture)   

Each week students will email the teacher with their project for the week. The teacher will review the art piece and give suggestions to the students on ways to improve their work.  

The teacher will also have an open forum on the classroom page for students to ask questions, interact with peers and share work (if they are comfortable doing so.) 

Week 1: Facial Proportions
Week 2: Eyes 
Week 3: noses and lips
Week 4: Ears 
Week 5: hair and shading the face 

You will leave this class with a basic understanding of how to make a realistic facial sketch. More advanced classes will be offered as well.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello, I have a Master's Degree in Education and I have been a Teacher and Reading Expert for 15 years! I have worked with children of all ages. I have high expectations for my students and a passion for teaching. I will encourage your child to reach their highest potential, all while having a fun and interactive lesson. I believe all children are individuals and the key to academic success is getting to know my students. My lessons will be created to fit their personality and interests. I have three children and we enjoy going to the beach and swimming. We live on a farm in Connecticut and enjoy spending time hiking and taking care of all of our chickens. I love to read and my favorite genres are horror and mystery. 
I look forward to meeting your child and having them in my online classroom
