Class Experience

This class is designed to give children a strong foundation of how they can create their own monsters, aliens, and imaginary creatures.

The class provides basic fundamental drawing techniques and instruction  that children can use to create anything they can imagine.

Classes begin with introductions and warm up exercises to get children familiar with each other and get the creative energy flowing.  The class doesn't teach how to draw a specific monster or creature but gives them a rudimentary formula so that they can create their own. The lesson consists of a number of steps and ideas that that learners are walked though step by step. Students will be able to see the teachers drawing on a shared screen so that they can follow along each step. After each step students are allowed to share what they've done, ask questions, and get feedback. Children are actively encouraged to participate and ask questions during class. 

Depending on the time in class children will be guided through a number of methods for making creatures. Including combining shapes, using random lines, and juxtaposing ideas.

An active imagination is required for this class and children are encouraged to add their own personal touches to their drawings and explore the limits of their imagination!

This is a one time class but students are allowed to re-enroll and create all new creations.

Come learn how to draw the most fantastic thing you can imagine!

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

My name is Brian and I am an artist and illustrator from Los Angeles, California. I am a classically trained in fine art and animation. In addition to making art I really enjoy teaching youth and helping them to develop their own unique form of creativity.

I have a number of years teaching and working with youth in various after school programs. I truly believe to that learning should be fun and I strive to provide an environment that is enriching, safe, and creatively nurturing. Students will be encouraged to express themselves artistically and to add their own imagination to the lessons.

Currently, I offer daily and weekly, cartooning courses. These are ongoing classes and the lessons evolve as course progresses, so children that wish to repeat the class will have new material to work from. These are entry level classes designed for anyone with an interest in drawing. All skill levels are welcome. Classes are non-competitive and each student is encouraged to do their own personal best. I believe that students can learn a lot from drawing with each other. In these classes students will have the opportunity to learn from myself but also each other as well.

In addition, I will be offering limited one time classes. This is a good way to test out the course and see if your child would be interested in one of the longer classes. These classes are also a option for tutoring if your child has specific drawing goals. If your child has special needs please reach out and let me know before the first class so I can make any necessary adjustments.
