Class Experience

Learners will draw some very cute Mermaid/sea characters in the Kawaii (Japanese for 'cute') style.  We will draw in real time and learn the steps for drawing six different characters (or more if time allows).  Drawing skills that we will practice include: pencil sketching, sighting/measuring, color gradient, and ink outlining.  During drawing time we will also encourage discussion among peers to share favorite swimming past-times.  This is a fun art class that will allow for relaxing, and chatting, while sharing some giggles with friends and drawings to get into a happy vibe.

Learning Goals

Students will improve drawing skills such as proportion, sketching, finalizing shapes, and color gradient.  The characters we will draw are two different mermaids, a starfish, crab, pineapple, and a seashell.  Students will also practice conversation skills and enjoy a relaxing activity.

Other Details

Supply List
Pencils, eraser, white paper, crayons or colored pencils, and a black pen (preferably gel-pen or fine-tip black marker).

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Brigham Young University Idaho
Hello!  I am BriAnn Ongesel.  I have taught online classes for over 7 years and over 2 years here on Outschool.  I teach art classes to ages 5-17.  

I have my bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Brigham Young University Idaho.  I also studied UX/UI design from California Institute of the Arts.  I am currently a freelance designer, online teacher, and mother of four.  

I believe that the best learning comes from doing.  Students learn from practicing the principles taught and from sharing what they learn with their peers.  It is important to have fun in my classes, as well as talking with other students about class concepts and similar interests.  Learning is about chasing what excites you and diving into all you can with it.

My hobbies include reading, drawing, and baking.  I love good food - including 'nicecream', butternut squash, and cheesecake.
