Let's Doodle, Sketch and Draw Together!

If you love to draw, this is the class for you! No experience necessary.

Each week we will have a new subject to study.  Some drawings will be cartoon style and some more realistic.  This is an on going class so you can come and go as you please.  Each lesson is a stand alone class and does not follow on from previous classes.  All you require to take this class is paper, a pencil, an eraser and colors if you choose ( these can be pencils, markers, watercolors or pastels).

Every class will begin with a guided draw.  We will all create together and you will follow me step by step.  You will be able to see exactly what I  am doing with the use of an overhead document camera.  I will describe techniques and give advice as I draw.
The second part of our class is over to you.  How will you personalize your drawing?  What colors will you choose?  What background will you draw?  What extras will you add?  I will give plenty of suggestions but ultimately it is up to each artist to make their own decisions.

It is magical moment at the end of class we see just how different our drawings are.  Each child will have a chance to be in the spotlight and share their work if they choose to.  I promote positive comments and encouragement from fellow classmates.  Artists are free to continue with their drawings after class if they wish to and post finished work to the classroom page.

This class is designed to be relaxed and informal.  Social discussion and chat is encouraged in the second half of the class once the guided draw is complete.

Cameras are encouraged to remain on during the class to enable feedback.
