Grades will not be a role in this camp, however I will inform parents and guardians of where their learners have understood the lessons and where they could use more work if requested.Class Experience
In this 4 week camp, your learner will explore their creativity. We will meet 2 times each week learning new art fundamentals each lesson. As it is summer if your learner misses a class they will be provided with a written version of the lesson. Each lesson will be structured in a similar way: Part 1: A quick introduction to explain to students the class and what will be taught. Part 2: A drawing game to get the creative juices flowing. I will give the learners a silly prompt and a time limit to draw silly characters. I will also participate. Part 3: The lesson, a lecture with drawing examples. Some times this will involve the students drawing along. Part 4: A little movement. As a professional artist I only work 30 minutes without standing, stretching, and giving myself a little shake. It is only for a minute but it is very important. Part 5: Now is the time for learners to put into practice what I have showed them. This is drawing time where we will draw together. Part 6: Show and tell time. Any student that feels comfortable showing what they have drawn is free to show what they have created. If any learner has any questions I will answer them here.

Supply List
Drawing supplies, can be traditional or digital but your learner will be drawing along with me and their piers. They will need materials to draw normally like a pencil and something for color. I would recommend colored pencils, but if they like something else that is fine too.
