Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
Beginner Level
This is a fun art class where I encourage interaction but never demand it. Students will learn to draw lines and basic shapes and use them to draw people, animals, and places through live demonstrations and support.  My goal is to connect with students and inspire them to complete the drawings by embellishing them with things fueled by their own imaginations. Students will be given the opportunity to share their art with the class and make new friends if they choose. 

All who are interested are welcome, no previous experience is required.
Demonstrations are completed using a pencil, paper, and an eraser. 
Color crayons, pencils, or markers are optional and welcome.
Each class will begin with a silly warm-up prompt allowing students to draw and express themselves in their own way. We share ideas with one another as we complete the scene. 
This class is paced by the students in attendance and may vary from week to week. When students have completed the drawing portion of their art and have had the opportunity to share it, the class will be over. 
Students may want to spend more time after class coloring their drawings.
