In this one-time drawing course, students will learn to sketch a realistic portrait of a bunny (full body) with abstract swirls, using pencil. What will students learn? 1. Students will learn techniques to sketch a proportionate contour drawing (outline) of a bunny (full body), using pencil. 2. Students will learn techniques to draw realistic shadows, using pencils and blending tools. 3. Students will learn techniques to draw realistic highlights, using pencils, erasers, and blending tools. 4. Students will learn techniques to draw realistic fur, using pencils, erasers, and blending tools. 5. Students will learn techniques to draw from a real photo, using a provided reference photo. 6. Students will learn what abstract art is through conversation and class discussion. 7. Students will learn techniques to draw abstract swirls and create "mood" in their art, using pencils and an eraser. I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me. My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative space where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged. I strive for my classroom to be a positive environment for students to learn from each other, ask questions, and make lasting friendships. I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding. Students who enroll in this class should have basic drawing skills, like drawing and manipulating shapes with a pencil. Students do not need a lot of prior realistic drawing experience to be successful in this class.

Art Teacher ๐จ / Middle Grade Fantasy Author ๐/ Children's Book Illustrator ๐
โจWelcome to my teacher page! โจ
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 booksโespecially 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.๐
