Class Experience

Use this discount code for $5 off your first class!: MACEACHERN5

In this ongoing class, students will practice their posing of humans through sketching. We will focus on finding shapes to outline and sketch our character. Please note, we will not be making completely finished art pieces. We will spend our time practising and repeating foundational shapes so that we feel more comfortable approaching a larger piece of art. The instructor will be using Procreate but you may join this class either with a digital medium or with pencil and paper. This class is in an ongoing format; learners may join or withdraw on any given week. 

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲:
Introductions 
Main Lesson: We will draw at least two figures per class, first working slowly with description and trying some timed compositions once comfortable; note that not every session will have a timed composition - it will depend on the comfort level and experience of the group.
Cool-Down/Showcase: Free time to experiment with the lesson or draw anything you like; the purpose of this is that you can work on something you like, it helps artists feel positive when they are learning something new or challenging. You may also take this time to showcase different artwork that you have worked on through the week.

• Payments for classes cannot be transferred to future weeks.
•  If your learner misses a class meeting, you are not entitled to a refund. In the event that class is missed, a recording of the class will be available for you in the classroom after the session has been completed.
•  This policy applies when you have notified me of an absence ahead of time; the payment holds your seat and gives you access to the recording. 
• You may withdraw from the class and re-enrol if you do not wish to be charged during an extended period of absences. You may also opt for the pause feature but please note a pause does not hold your seat. If you wish to have your seat held, you can opt to pay for the subscription.

• If a class is full, I may review “mute”, “unmute”, and “raise hand” options for effective classroom communication
• I may call on learners and help facilitate conversation; I ask that only one person speak at a time
• Learners may use the “chat” feature to communicate
• If a learner is unable to adhere to these guidelines or is being disrespectful, they will be given up to two warnings. If a learner continues with disrespectful behaviour they may be put into the waiting room or be asked to leave; they can follow the rest of the class through the recording posted in the classroom.

Hello!

I'd like to thank-you for taking a moment to learn more about me.

My name is Rae and I have been a full-time instructor on Outschool since 2021. I am passionate about arts, media, technology, learning, and the way that they correlate with each other. I offer drawing classes and social clubs based on special interests. 

I received my BA in Theatre and English from the University of the Fraser Valley. During my time there, I directed and performed in a number of stage productions including: Once in a Lifetime by Moss Hart; Arabian Nights by Mary Zimmerman; and Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Theatre is an important aspect of my life: it has taught me to be confident, how to collaborate with others, and how to manage multiple projects with close deadlines. These are transferable life skills that have helped in every aspect of my life.

My approach is encouragement and reciprocal curiosity. I take a genuine interest from the input of my students because they offer bright ideas and I firmly believe that we learn and grow from each other. I am happy to hear about the special interests that your learner is passionate about and want every child to feel celebrated for who they are. My classroom rules all revolve around the idea of safety: be kind to each other, yourself, and the space you are working in. 

I like to spend my free time tending to my plants, cooking healthy food, and playing video games such as Stardew Valley, Genshin Impact, and Final Fantasy.
