In this one-time drawing class, students will learn to draw a realistic (and cute) axolotl salamander, using pastel chalk. This class teaches students how to draw a full body portrait of an axolotl. Students are welcome to come to class with fun facts to share about axolotls if they want. I will also share a few fun facts about these animals throughout class while we draw. I will demonstrate for students how to draw a pink axolotl, but students are welcome to color their axolotl different if they wish. During class, I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me. My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative environment where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged. I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding. Students may also interact with each other if they want to share what they have learned during class. Students who enroll in this class should have basic drawing skills, like drawing and manipulating shapes with a pencil.
Learning Goals
1. Students will learn techniques for sketching a proportionate contour drawing (outline) of an axolotl.
2. Students will learn techniques for smooth blending, pencil application, gradient blending, and adding contrast.
3. Students will learn techniques for creating realistic coloring for an axolotl. (I will be demonstrating how to draw a pink axolotl, but students may change the color of their axolotl if they wish).
4. Students will learn a few facts about axolotls.Other Details

✨Welcome to my teacher page! ✨
After graduating with Bachelor's Degrees in Elementary and Early Childhood Education, I decided to make the leap of starting my author and illustrator career. Since then, I have written and illustrated my first middle grade fantasy book, Brush of Magic, with many more in the works!
Along with running my own art and book shop, I design and teach a variety of drawing and painting classes, ranging from realistic sketching, watercolor painting, fantasy drawing, and illustration. I have taught for about 9 years, 4 of which have been specific to art. I love the time I get to spend with my students, creating art, and chatting about books—especially if the books and art are whimsical or magical!
All the artwork, books, and stationary designs in my shop are created by me. I often find inspiration for my art and books through reading, spending time with my cats and dogs, and brainstorming imaginary creatures in my sketchbook.
Thank you for stopping by! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to help.😊
