Class Experience

Each week, we'll practise drawing a new bird species in this ongoing session.

Students in each session will learn from me step-by-step:
To illustrate the many relationships between the area and the proportions of our drawing, the style of lines and shapes will be applied initially. Our pupils will be able to experiment with both loose-hatching and cross-hatching methods when they add dark tones to the character's form. Students will next use both stronger and softer gradations of shading to strengthen and integrate the dark tones of the character. The next stage will be to add more contrast and shadows to the drawing.

Week beginning of Monday, October 21, we will sketch the following:

Week beginning October 21 - Penguins
Week beginning October 28 - Toucan

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Bournemouth University
Hello fellow students! My name is Elliot and I am from London in the UK. I teach creative classes, including interesting and dynamic Minecraft classes. I know that the power of passion and creativity can make education fun and invigorating! By providing hands-on learning experiences that are both inventive and enriching, my aim is to inspire my students to become bold leaders, communicators, and creators of the future!

In my lessons, my students are able to choose from a wide range of classes that include building in Minecraft in creative mode and survival! We will work together, improve on social skills and abilities to reach our goals to a high level of satisfaction whilst having a blast!

I have been building things since I was a young boy, from engineer to architecture, I quickly learned about observation and figured things out on my own. As I got older, I took art and design classes in high school and college and stayed after school because I loved them so much! Later, I taught a drawing workshop (basic drawing ) as part of the weekend and summer activities. My hobbies include playing video games, travelling, cycling, and reading science fiction.

The disciplines of digital media, art, and design have given me a first-class Bachelor's (BA) degree, and I've worked in them professionally as well. Additionally, I've earned a TEFL certification and have been teaching English online to children ranging in age from 5 to 12 for the last several years. I'm in love with it! Art, design and communication skills are passions of mine, and I am eager to combine it with my love of teaching. I feel that my excitement and understanding in the field will inspire my pupils.

I like engaging with and getting to know my students throughout class. I'm going to show my students how to employ visual learning methods in the classroom. As a teacher, I ensure that my students leave my classroom more confident and capable than ever before.

With my cheerful and supportive demeanour and teaching style, I want to assist my pupils develop a strong sense of self-confidence in their own creative abilities.

Thanks for visiting. I look forward to working with you!
