Through the guided drawing process, students will learn how to draw a dragon eye and surrounding scales in detail. My teaching style involves breaking the process down into smaller, easy-to-follow steps. I pace the class according to the needs of the students; if needed, I give fast finishers a break, allowing students who need more time to complete their work, the time to do so, and even then, finishing before class ends is NOT the objective. The examples in the picture are only suggestive; students may also request a particular favorite if time allows. My classes are intended to be fun, informative, and a safe place to take artistic risks and make mistakes--that is experimentation, which artists do all the time! At the end of class, students will be invited to share their creations no matter what their progress is. More detailed information regarding this class can be found in the syllabus.
Learning Goals
Students will use line, shape, color and 3-d techniques to draw a detailed dragon eye.

I am a 30-year veteran licensed art teacher with lots of experience in teaching all ages how to draw. I have always been fascinated with the eye, whether human, animal, or mythical creature! I love to create unique details, and with a dragon's eye, there are SO many possibilities because we can make it look realistic AND imaginative!Reviews
