ABOUT
In this dragon painting class, your artists will learn to draw & watercolor paint a Wings of Fire dragon. I love to draw the dragons your artist requests! No drawing experience is needed for this class! I will teach in every class everything your artist needs to know in drawing properly!

~ IMPORTANT~ Be on time for class! 
This is a step-by-step lesson, and you need to be on time. If your artist is late for any reason, I will let them in class, and they can participate where we are in the drawing. I will offer your artist the option of doing the complete lesson on the recording after class has finished and the lesson has been uploaded to the cloud.

BEFORE CLASS
Students should start logging into class about 5 mins before the scheduled start time. This allows time for you to resolve any technical issues with your device's connection.  If you areusebattery-powered device (laptop, Ipad, etc) be sure it is fully charged or connected to the power supply.

I will use this time for students to show me any art they have completed and any questions before starting the class session. 

START OF CLASS
First thing, we will go over the supplies needed for the lesson and will ask each student their name. I encourage students to use the chatbox during class for questions. If they have an answer to my questions they are then allowed to unmute to answer the question. I love class participation!  Especially when we learn from each other about art! 

Then I will begin the step-by-step process of drawing out our character in easy-to-follow instructions. Each step will be broken down to the simplest form by using common shapes like circles and lines.  My favorite is comparing shapes to food!  Like a potato or a pizza. This frees the artist to allow for imperfections in their initial sketch. Once we build our character out, we will add details, texture, shading, and form to our drawing. If it is a painting, we will add these using watercolor paints.

END OF CLASS
At the end of class, each student is allowed to show their work on the screen and tell the class about their work!  This is a big confidence booster!  You can see how much they worked and listened in class when they hold up their final art piece!  Thank you for encouraging your artist to be creative!
