Welcome to our how to draw mythical creatures class for historians, fantasy nerds, lovers of D&D and artists alike, where together we will learn how to draw and how to use a variety of shading techniques to create both realistic drawings and cartoons. This art class is perfect for intermediate artists and specializes in using step by step drawing and shading demonstrations to help blossoming artists perfect their skills. This drawing class is also perfect for both neuro divergent learners and homeschool families because it combines a variety of general subject matter including history and culture while using an adaptable teaching style and affordable materials. Each day your student will be encouraged to ask questions and will have the opportunity to display their drawings at the end of each session. The first half of class will begin with good news and an ice breaker. This will allow all of us to get a better chance to get to know your students and their friends. Then, we will then we will learn a few educational facts about the mythical creature we are focusing on for that week. Then we will learn how to draw that mythical creature under the guidance of a certified art educator. Each week we will focus on one particular subject and a few drawing techniques. This will allow everyone the opportunity to add their own personal flairs to their drawings and practice the new skill set not only under the guidance of an art teacher but also at home. Doing so will allow each student to build their confidence outside of class and create a sense of independence. *** ALL STUDENTS ARE WELCOME TO USE WHATEVER DRAWING MATERIAL THEY WISH*** --JANUARY-- 1/1/24-1/6/24 How to Draw a Cold Creative Cyclops 1/7/24-1/13/24 How to Draw a Snow Nymph 1/14/24-1/20/24 How to Draw the Yuki-Onna 1/21/24-1/27/24 How to Draw Singing Sirens 1/28/24-1/31/24 How to Draw Yowling Yetis **LAST LESSON FOR THE MONTH WILL EXTEND INTO 2/3/24*** --FEBRUARY-- 2/4/24-2/10/24 How to Draw the Moon Goddess 2/11/24-2/17/24 How to Draw Aphrodite the Greek Goddess of Love 2/18/24-2/24/24 How to Draw Freyja the Norse Goddess of Beauty 2/25/24-2/29/24 How to Draw Isis the Egyptian Goddess of Magic
