Private Drawing Lesson for ESL Students

This is a unique drawing class in which we will learn and practice basic English vocabulary through drawing. Depending on the student, writing may also be incorporated into the drawing in the form of labeling, completing sentence starters, and writing sentences. This class is designed for ELL and ESL students, and it is open to students of all drawing levels.

During each class we will create a fun drawing using simple geometric shapes and colors to draw everyday objects, animals, or places. I will guide students through the drawing process, and students are free to add their own details and interpretation of the subject matter.  As we draw together, students are encouraged to identify and discuss what is in their drawings, or to make suggestions about what to draw. We will name objects and details throughout the drawing process. For example, we might draw a train while learning about rectangles. As we draw together, we will talk about the characteristics of a train, and what other details we might want to add, such as train tracks, windows, trees, sun.
