Students will learn how to draw a newly assigned animal each week. We will draw animals that have different textures and patterns such as reptiles to fuzzy mammals. Students will learn how to observe basic shapes that make up an animal's anatomy to create realistic proportions.

I am an educator and practicing artist. I went to San Diego State University, receiving my bachelor’s degree in fine art and my single-subject teaching credential. I taught for four years in the San Diego Unified School District, working with students in grades 6-12. In 2021, I left to pursue my master’s degree at Laguna College of Art and Design. I will graduate with my master’s in drawing in the Spring of 2023. I am passionate about the arts, particularly using simple tools like graphite and charcoal. My work is primarily in grayscale, but I am well-versed in color theory and painting in various mediums and substrates. While creating art is my idea of fun, I find nothing more exciting than seeing young folks share the same sentiment. Creating art can be an incredibly rewarding tool to express yourself. I hope to nurture that with the students in the classroom.
