Welcome to “Learn to Draw with Mr. Paul,” a self-paced video art class designed for the imaginative and curious minds of elementary students! Over the course of five weeks, students will embark on a creative journey through five engaging video lessons, each unlocking new skills and techniques in the art of drawing. Mr. Paul will guide young artists through a variety of projects designed to nurture creativity and enhance drawing skills. Our lessons include: 1. Let's Draw Video Game Landscapes 2. Let's Draw Selfie Portraits 3. Let's Draw Comic Strips 4. Let's Go On An Outdoor Art Adventure 5. Let's Learn About Value Students will follow along with Mr. Paul as he introduces the concept of each lesson, sharing examples from art history for inspiration, and then demonstrating the project. Each video is roughly 10 minutes. Then students will be invited to try the concept out for themselves. There will be no live meeting for this class. Students can participate on their own schedule, and pause the videos as much as needed to learn at their own pace. Students are encouraged to share their artwork and join in discussions on the class page. Mr. Paul will provide feedback to everyone who shares their work. Materials: Pencil Paper Ruler Colored pencils, crayons, or markers
