US Grade 5
Beginner Level
**What Will Be Taught?**  
In this basic drawing course, students will learn the foundational skills necessary for creating well-structured and visually appealing artwork. We’ll cover topics ranging from line drawing, shapes, and shading to more advanced techniques like perspective, proportion, and composition. Each session is designed to build progressively, ensuring that students develop confidence and skills along the way.

**What Topics Will You Cover?**  
The course will cover:
- Line and contour drawing
- Shapes and form
- Light, shadow, and shading techniques
- Texture representation
- 1-point and 2-point perspective
- Proportions of the human figure and face
- Composition basics
- Gesture drawing for capturing movement
- Creative drawing from imagination

**How Is Your Class Structured?**  
The class is divided into 16 sessions, each lasting 35 minutes. Each session introduces a specific skill or topic, starting with simpler concepts and gradually increasing in complexity. Every lesson includes a live demonstration, practice time, and feedback to ensure students fully understand the material. I’ll also assign outside drawing activities to reinforce what was taught in class and encourage daily practice.

**How Will You Teach?**  
Each lesson will be taught through live video sessions where I demonstrate techniques step-by-step. Students will follow along, practicing in real-time. I will also use slides, visual references, and short video clips to introduce new concepts. The class will include interactive activities like quick sketching exercises, discussions, and games to keep students engaged and learning in a fun, supportive environment.

**What's Your Teaching Style?**  
My teaching style is supportive, encouraging, and interactive. I believe every student has the potential to be a great artist, and my goal is to guide them through the learning process with patience and enthusiasm. I create a positive atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring their creativity. My approach combines clear instruction with hands-on practice, ensuring that students not only understand the concepts but can also apply them effectively.

**How Much Will Learners Get to Interact with You?**  
Students will have plenty of opportunities to interact with me during class. I will provide individual feedback on their work during live demonstrations and practice sessions. Throughout each session, students can ask questions and participate in group discussions. We’ll also play drawing games that encourage creative thinking and collaboration. At the end of each class, I’ll offer time for a Q&A, ensuring every student feels confident with the material before moving on.
