In this one time drawing class, we will learn how to draw cats in a bowl of ramen noodle soup. Cats with ramen is funny, and I encourage students to illustrate the cats with fun expressions and positions. The ramen cats can be made swimming in soup, playfully eating, or being lazy and sleeping in their dish. In this class, we will use our imaginations!

The topics students will learn are sketching, line art, overlapping, expressions, and how to apply simple color.  In the beginning of class, we will start with a step by step guide on how to draw the bowl for the soup, noodles, and we will make our first cats together. Students will then be given choices such as how many cats to make, which foods to include in their soups, and what expressions the cats will have. We will use pencils to sketch, then a marker (fine tip Sharpie is preferred) to make strong outlines. Finally, we will add some touches of color using watercolor paints. 

My teaching style is relaxed. Students are encouraged to use their imagination and make a drawing that is fun for them. I will guide students along and give positive feedback and recommendations. I will provide technical information on how to use art materials. Learners will get plenty of time to interact with me and with others through discussion of the art process.

At the end of class, we will have a brief show and tell about the art we created. I will give a positive critique of artwork and lots of encouragement.

Some past experience drawing is helpful.
