Each class session includes 3 videos, that can be paused or replayed according to the individual learner's pace.
Video One:  Introduction of the theme and step-by-step narrated drawing demonstration
Video Two:  Movement break, related to the theme
Video Three:  Finishing touches for the drawing and invitation for the learner to comment on their drawing, and submit their work for individual feedback, using the Outschool recording feature.

Learning Goals

Learners gain fine-motor control and competency in using tools such as block crayons.  They gain competency in representing people and objects by creating simple shapes on paper, using shading techniques.  Most importantly, learners have fun making art with the instructional videos, and gain confidence in their artistic skills.

Other Details

Supply List

SUPPLIES NEEDED:   
- Waldorf block crayons (or substitute with fat, chunky crayons with paper labels removed.) 
- Blank white or off-white paper, 8.5" X 11" or 9" X 12"
- I prefer white construction paper (with its slightly rough texture), and drawing paper is fine, as well as regular printer paper 
   (Newsprint has a poor surface texture, and tears easily, so is not recommended.)

External Resources

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
