In this multi-day summer drawing camp, students will learn to sketch realistic facial features of humans (eyes, nose, ears, mouth), a realistic human portrait, and full body portraits of humans. This class will meet for one hour twenty minutes each day, for five days over the period of one week. What will students learn? Day 1: Human Facial Features (Eyes and Eyebrows) 1. Students will learn techniques to draw different shaped eyes and eyebrows. 2. Students will learn techniques to draw realistic eyebrows and eyelashes. 3. Students will learn techniques to shade, blend, and detail realistic eyes. Day 2: Human Facial Features (Noses, Ears, and Mouths) What will students learn? 1. Students will learn techniques to shade human noses and ears with pencil. 2. Students will learn techniques to draw realistic shading for human skin. 3. Students will learn techniques to draw realistic highlights on human noses and ears. 4. Students will learn techniques to draw realistic lips with pencil shading and texture. Day 3: Human Portrait (Face) What will students learn? 1. Students will learn techniques to draw a proportionate human face. 2. Students will learn techniques to draw realistic texture of human hair. 3. Students will learn to combine previously learned techniques to create a realistic drawing of a human face. Day 4: Full Body Human Gesture Drawing Studies What will students learn? 1. Students will learn techniques to draw proportionate human gesture drawings by sketching quick, full body portraits. 2. Students will use a wooden mannequin to practice drawing several full body poses. 3. Students will learn techniques to draw loose sketches of human figures and practice drawing several, quick sketches of human figures. Day 5: Full Body Human Drawing What will students learn? 1. Students will learn techniques to detail a realistic full body human drawing. 2. Students will learn techniques to shade legs, arms, etc. 3. Students will learn to combine previously learned techniques to create a realistic, full body drawing of a human. 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. I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding. Students who enroll in this class should have an interest in learning to draw proportionate human facial features realistically and proportionate full body human drawings.

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
