Students will learn how to draw realistic images. We will draw realistic animals such as elephants and other subjects in this ongoing drawing art class. This is a realistic, abstract, and non-objective drawing art class using pencil ( charcoal and pastels are optional and extra but not essential). This ongoing drawing art class perfect for kids who homeschool or who need a supplemental course in art. I will be demonstrating how to draw different images. We will draw from the google slides shown in class. We will have a subject for the day(see list below). We will fit in as many different images(up to10 images) on google slides to draw as possible. We will complete one image at a time. Learners are welcome to show what they have drawn so they can get my feedback. Students can ask questions at any time during class in a fun interactive environment.
