Calling all monsters, aliens, and mythological beasts! This is a class for children who like to draw the fantastical. It's a place where creativity and imagination rule. Every child will be encouraged to explore the reaches of their own imagination and create the most wondrous creatures possible. The class primarily focuses on creativity but a number or drawing techniques will be used and discussed including shape language, shape building, using random forms, and dadaist concepts. Learners are self-directed and able to choose the subjects that interest them and pursue them at their own pace. Guidance will be offered at every step of the process. Children are encouraged to find visual references to help guide them on their journey. Children may find inspiration in life as wells as in animal books, film, video games, comics, and more. The class structure is informal. The number of drawings or creatures a child wants to make is entirely up to the student. Children are encouraged to ink and color their drawings to a finished level but it is not mandatory. Coloring and rendering techniques will also be discussed as needed. Children are permitted to converse with each other in a respectful and constructive manner during class. Learning to communicate our ideas and express ways we can improve in a positive way helps us all grow. This is an ongoing class and children are allowed to join and drop as their schedule demands. Materials for this class are learner determined. Students will require pencil and paper. More advanced may enjoy watercolors or gouache. Students who prefer to work digitally are also welcome.

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.Reviews
