Beginner Level
Do you love drawing and painting animals like a tropical fish and a tree frog with backgrounds that make them pop? If you want to improve your drawing skills and realism techniques with watercolor paint, then we’ve got the class for you! This is a pre-recorded class and there are no live meetings. The class is project-based learning where students will follow along and learn by watching pre-recorded video lessons. Students will post or send their artwork in the classroom and the teacher will give personalized feedback through a video recording or written feedback. Students can post encouraging comments on their classmates' work. In this class, students will learn to draw and paint animals in nature with plenty of feedback and encouragement from the instructor. The instructor will demonstrate and explain the drawing process in the Megapixels method through pre-recorded videos as students follow along step-by-step, creating their own magnificent artwork. Students can copy the instructor’s picture or can add their own creative embellishments and colors. This class is geared toward beginners and intermediate/advanced students are welcome as well. The main goals are that students have fun while creating art they can feel proud to display! Students can share their art inside the classroom for encouraging feedback. Feedback may come in the form of written feedback and/or personalized videos from the art teacher who is assigned to our class. (See teacher descriptions below). (Instructor Meg has already created several lessons so if you want something different than what is listed, let us know ahead of time and if it’s available we will try to accommodate you).
Learning Goals
Students will learn realistic and imaginative drawing and coloring techniques and how to add their own creative flair to their art. Some weeks, learners will also learn how to color or shade and to create depth in their art to make it pop. The end result will be cool drawings of various subjects they will feel proud to display.
