Learn to Draw Cartoon Animals (Ongoing)

Prepare to wow your friends and family with your amazing cartoon animal characters! Each class starts with a new topic or technique and a short practice to boost your skills. Then, using simple steps, we will draw an animal character together. I'll be there to assist you in fixing any mistakes. Let's unleash our creativity and create masterpieces together!


Class Structure:

1. Students are warmly welcomed and encouraged to share any artwork they've previously created with the class.
2. I'll teach a short (typically ten minutes) lesson, as outlined in the curriculum below.
3. Following the lesson, we do a drawing activity to practice what we learned (approximately five minutes).
4. I quickly explain the optional homework.
5. The bulk of the class time (typically 45 minutes) we draw one of my illustrations together. They are nearly always anthropomorphic animal characters but occasionally it will be a human or landscape.

*I am constantly reworking my curriculum and lessons to try to improve them. The overall idea of the curriculum is to teach your child the fundamentals of art so that they can create not just beautiful cartoon characters, but anything they can imagine. Part of the lessons are specifically focused on drawing cartoon characters.
