In this one-time colored pencil drawing class, students will learn to draw a St. Patrick's Day Leprechaun and shamrocks, using colored pencil. 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 and a great place for students to make lasting friendships. I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding and increase engagement. Students may interact with each other if they want to share what they learn during class. Students who enroll in this class should have basic drawing skills, like drawing and manipulating shapes with a pencil. What Will Students Learn? 1. Students will learn techniques to sketch a proportionate contour drawing (outline) of a Leprechaun (full body). 2. Students will learn techniques to blend, apply, and layer colored pencil. 3. Students will learn techniques to draw saturated colors, using colored pencil. 4. Students will learn techniques to draw gold coins, using colored pencils and a white gel pen. 5. Students will learn techniques to draw shamrocks, using colored pencil. 6. Students will learn about some history/myths revolving Leprechauns and St. Patrick's Day.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Weber State University
Art Teacher π¨ / Middle Grade Fantasy Author π/ Children's Book Illustrator π
β¨Welcome to my teacher page! β¨
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 booksβespecially 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.π
