Studio Ghibli Characters Drawing Camp
What's included
5 live meetings
3 hrs 45 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this 5 day camp style course, we will draw different characters from 5 of Studio Ghibli's movies. Each class will start by watching a short film clip from the movie and a discussion question. Next, we will sketch out the main shapes of our drawings, followed by adding in details and outline. If time allows, we will add colour to our work. Students are encouraged to have their cameras on to showcase their works step by step so I can offer individualized comments :) Our schedule is as follows: Day 1 Totoro's Cat Bus (My Neighbor Totoro)- Drawing the Totoro family and soot balls riding the cat bus. Day 2 No Face's Gaming time with friends (Spirited Away) - Drawing No Face and his friends, mouse and bird, have a fun gaming time along with some popcorns. Day 3 Kiki and Jiji's Tea Time (Kiki's Delivery Service) - Drawing Jiji and cute breads from the bakery, along with a cup of tea and the fish pie from the movie. Day 4 Calcifer's Breakfast and Soot Balls in Jars (Howl's Moving Castle) - Drawing a yummy breakfast cooked by the Calcifer's flames and magical jars containing Soot Spirits. Day 5 Laputa's Guardian Robot and Forest Spirites (Castle in the Sky) - Drawing the Robot from Castle in the Sky along with other Ghbli friends of the learner's choices such as forest spirits from Princess Mononoke, or Ponyo in a bucket.

Hi Everyone :) Thanks for checking out my profile!
I have a Bachelors both in Music Performance and Music Education. I also hold a post graduate diploma in Exploring Arts Education.
Currently, I'm the elementary school music teacher, which means I get to teach music to everyone in the school, working with around 430 students per week! I love how I get the privilege to watch so many learners grow as we go through the school year together. I like to incorporate various aspects of arts into my classes, such as painting and dancing, to create a more well rounded experience for my students. My classes are fun and energetic. I always try my best to make personal connections with my students. I feel that students learn best when they feel safe, relaxed and are trusting of the adults in their learning environments.
Aside from teaching in the schools, I am a freelance potter and artist. I specialize in ceramic and fibre arts, such as needle-felting, knitting and crocheting. I also like to paint and doodle my ideas into my sketch books. I sell my works both online and at local craft fairs.
I don't have any pets or children, but I do have 200 house plants that I water every week! My favourite plant is a Monstera named "Freddy". I am a big fan of Studio Ghibli movies and I like spending my free time watching anime and how-to videos.
I look forward to working and exploring the arts with you, here on Outschool :)
