Let's draw in Italian! An art class and social club for Fluent Speakers

In this ongoing class, students will draw according to the theme of the week and socialize in Italian. In class I will speak only speak Italian and students will be able to socialize with other native, bilingual, or advanced speakers. 
 
The class follows fun themes that students will enjoy learning and discussing. The class will be structured in the following way: 
- Introductions and presentation of this week's theme
- Each learner will draw while I demonstrate my own drawing. We will discuss the drawing prompt, what we are drawing, and socialize. Students may copy my drawing, or create their own!
- Each learner is welcome to show their drawing at the end of class.

The goal for this class, is to continue improving the Italian language, while freely drawing in a relaxing learning environment. If your learner's drawing level is beginner, or advanced, then this class is still a great fit! 

This is an ongoing course, so students may begin or leave the course at any time. The materials for this course in general are always: paper, a pencil, a thin black marker (optional). Students may bring any extra materials of their choice.

The required experience for this class, is to know Italian enough to be able to converse and understand me. I will not be speaking any English in this class. This class is for children who are able to converse freely about their interests, lives, and hobbies in Italian while drawing. I want my classes to be interactive, so all learners will get the chance to speak. Please make sure your learner is familiar with the "mute" and "ummute" zoom function.
