Animal lovers! Come join as each week we will draw a different animal together using a provided reference photo. All skill levels are welcome! The classes are casual in nature with the teacher being there to demonstrate, answer questions, and provide useful tips and techniques. At the start of each class, we look at our reference photo together and find the basic geometrical shapes to sketch the general structure of the animal. The teacher will explain how to proceed with step-by-step instruction. Creativity is welcome as learners may customize their animals or add their own unique backgrounds. A social atmosphere is encouraged as learners chat and ask questions while we draw together. At the end of each lesson, you can vote on next week's animal! Suggestions for future animals are also welcome. The teacher will be drawing with a graphite pencil set, but learners are welcome to use charcoal, colored pencils, or digital art if they prefer.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their shading and blending while learning drawing techniques on different animal features like fur, feathers, eyes, and noses. They will learn to see and use basic geometrical shapes to sketch the structure of various animals.
