Do you love Studio Ghibli and art? Do you want to sharpen your drawing skills? Want to learn some sketching fundamentals through your favorite Studio Ghibli characters? Then this class is for you! 

This class is intended for the Studio Ghibli buff as students will be drawing different characters from multiple films! In this art class, students investigate basic drawing techniques through drawing the "Studio Ghibli Style". Some of the characters that students draw come from films such as Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and more! Students tackle projects by breaking them down into simple shapes, learning proportions, and measuring. They will learn basic drawing principles and apply them to Studio Ghibli characters.

Why SELF PACED?
🔰 Self paced classes are fantastic for international students (Mrs. V is located in Texas). 
🔰 Students can work at their own pace. No need to wait on others or feel rushed. 
🔰 Self paced classes are an excellent choice for families with busy schedules. 
🔰 This class is a "self paced" class, meaning there is no live component, and all interactions between students and the teacher happens on the class page.
