Students will learn how to draw objects, in this case, fashion illustration, by watching me draw portions of the drawing, a little at a time. They can follow along. I would like them to be able to see my paper as it is filmed over my shoulder. The class will be structured with me drawing what can easily fit into 60 minutes. We will draw or color, one class at a time, and take three classes on one project. The first class will be drawing only. The students will follow along with me as I draw the figure and clothing. This might take the whole 60 minutes. The second class will be adding detail and beginning to add colored pencil if time allows. The third class will be adding the colored pencil (optional) and enhancing it with shading. The nature of a drawing class is that students have different speed levels in which they finish their drawings. I encourage them to be careful and go slowly so as not to make a sloppy drawing, but I encourage them to quicken the pace if it appears they might not finish on time. This sequence will take place over one week. The course will be completed in one week, (3 lessons). Enrollment is for one (1) week - three lessons.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to draw a detailed object, in this case, the human figure clothed in a current fashionable outfit. They will follow a line drawing, and follow the teacher's guidelines on the proper way to color the drawing, if the student wishes to add color. We will begin classes with drawing paper, pencils and erasers, but we will add color if the student wishes. I am very particular with the way students complete their projects. They must be neat and complete.
Other Details
Supply List
I can provide my expertise. The Students need to purchase the following materials: 1) Drawing paper. A white drawing paper tablet (found online on Amazon, or dickblick.com or Target) will work great. I prefer 80 lb. weight paper, so I think the paper at Target might be lighter weight, but it's certainly fine if that's all you can get right now. 81/2 x11" or 9x12". Strathmore has a 9x12 60-sheet spiral pad in 64lb. weight at Target for $6.49. Also - "Mellisa and Doug" Drawing pad 50 sheets heavy weight on Amazon for $2.99. Just be careful that it's not too stiff like card stock. 2) A Pencil - Bic #2 mechanical 0.7 pencils from Target are my "go-to" pencils. BIC X-TRA LIFE. A 40 count box is about $10 but you can buy single pencils. Don't get 0.9. Not the x-tra smooth x-tra strong or sparkle...they break too easily. I create significant art using these and they're way cheaper than drawing pencils, but easy, since you don't have to sharpen them. If all you have available are Ticonderoga #2, that's fine. But I do not encourage the students use the Pink eraser on the end of that type of pencil. It smears the drawing and leaves a pink streak. 3) An eraser. White Pearl is best..Target 3-pack $1.99 4) - optional an Ultra Fine black Sharpie. 2-ct. $1.89 or 4 ct. $3.89 - or a #3 Micron pen/black. All these things (with the exception of a micron pen which can be found on Amazon) can be found at Target. 5) The students might also want to use Colored pencils, and if Prismacolor colored pencils are not in your budget, then Crayola is the best bet. They work fine for a class like this, also at Target - 24 ct. $2.99.

Teacher expertise and credentials
All of us have a gift to share with others, and this is what I want to share. I started drawing when I was very young and haven't stopped. I love drawing more than anything. I'm also naturally good at teaching. I've been an art teacher for over 18 years, and I've also taught Drama, Photography, Speech and Dance. I've always been really good at explaining things. Plus, I enjoy the students. If you know your son or daughter likes art, I will help them create beautiful projects worthy of framing on the wall, not just curling up on the refrigerator! :)Reviews
