Let's Draw Cats, Winter Edition!

Calling all Cat Lovers! Do you love to draw cats? Together, we will draw a cute cat in the winter. This class is Purr-fect for students who love cats and drawing!

We will begin by using pencils to sketch. I will provide step by step instruction. I also show students more than one way to make the artwork, therefore giving the students decisions about their art process.  Students will use a fine tip Sharpie marker to make bold details for the cat's face. Students will color their pictures using oil pastels, colored pencils, or watercolor paint. I will demonstrate my cat artwork with watercolors. As a final touch, students will use white oil pastels or white paint to give the look of snow falling on the ground. Optionally, students can relate their artwork to any winter holiday or celebration.

My teaching style is relaxed. Students are free to use their imagination and make a drawing that is fun for them. I will guide students along and give feedback and recommendations. I will provide technical information on how to use art materials. 

At the end of class, all students will have a chance to show their artwork to me and to the group. I will give positive, encouraging feedback. My classes are safe places for students to try new techniques and experiment with art.
