In this ongoing class students will learn to draw TWO Sanrio characters each class and socialize in a safe and cheerful environment. We will draw in real time and learn the steps for drawing different characters each week. During drawing instruction time I talk a lot, but during the coloring of each character I encourage student talking and interacting! Drawing skills that we will practice include: pencil sketching, sighting/measuring, color gradient, facial expressions, and ink. Some characters are based on holiday themes during the week(s) of a holiday. During drawing time we will also encourage discussion among peers to share favorite experiences or insights related to the characters. This is a fun art class that will allow for relaxing and chatting, while sharing some giggles with friends and drawings that put us in a happy mood.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Brigham Young University Idaho
Hello! I am BriAnn Ongesel. I have taught online classes for over 7 years and over 2 years here on Outschool. I teach art classes to ages 5-17.
I have my bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Brigham Young University Idaho. I also studied UX/UI design from California Institute of the Arts. I am currently a freelance designer, online teacher, and mother of four.
I believe that the best learning comes from doing. Students learn from practicing the principles taught and from sharing what they learn with their peers. It is important to have fun in my classes, as well as talking with other students about class concepts and similar interests. Learning is about chasing what excites you and diving into all you can with it.
My hobbies include reading, drawing, and baking. I love good food - including 'nicecream', butternut squash, and cheesecake.
