Each week the class will focus on a step-by-step tutorial of how to draw the Pokemon of the week. Students will get individualized feedback throughout the class on how they can improve their technique. Topics: (I am open to requests from students for which Pokemon to do the following week) August 7: Week One: Charizard August 14: Week Two: Greninja August 21: Week Three: Mimikyu August 28: Week Four: Draw-Your-Own Unique Pokémon Class Structure: Each class will be broken down into three stages. Stage One, a general outline and balance of the character. Stage Two, nailing your proportions, adding detail, erasing guide lines. Stage 3: Final details and colours. If regular students agree on a particular Pokemon to do for the following weeks, I am open to that.
Learning Goals
Students will improve fine motor skills and art technique in a cartoon-style. They will also get to socialize with others who have similar interests in a supervised setting.

OUR PHILOSOPHY:
We believe that engagement of students is key. No one likes to listen to a long-winded teacher go on for the entire class explaining how things work. Students learn much better with a short explanation and a chance to PRACTICE and ask questions as they come up. As such, we make sure that all of our explanations on each topic are short, succinct, and full of examples and visuals, and then our students will have plenty of opportunity to practice, make mistakes, and revise.Reviews
