In this course consisting of 8 weekly 45 minute classes, we will create our own unique weird nature drawings. We will take inspiration from all the strange and wonderful things we see in our gardens everyday like flowers that look like dragons, plants that eat insects and more. Each session we will discuss a different variety of weird plant, draw it together and even invent our own strange species. This course is great for beginners as we will go through each step of the drawing together using some fun and easy drawing techniques such as using simple shapes to create form, drawing shadows and using colour. English language learners are encouraged to join as all of my classes are completely ESL friendly. All we need are some pencils, paper, a sharpener, an eraser and our fantastic imaginations! Course Schedule: Week 1, January 10th: Introduction to drawing shapes and creating shadows. Draw simple flower using beginner's drawing techniques. Week 2, January 17th: Poisonous Plants.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a TESOL certified Teacher and Visual Artist from Australia with over five years of experience teaching privately, in schools and online. Throughout my career I have worked with students from all over the world and I have enjoyed developing my skills while working with learners from many different age groups and nationalities.
I began my teaching journey after studying Visual Art at Adelaide College of the Arts, providing arts and crafts workshops to adolescents in my hometown and teaching life drawing at a local art studio.
While living in Spain I taught arts and crafts workshops in Summer camps and in primary schools which enabled me to bridge language barriers with a variety of creative activities.
Throughout my time teaching I also exhibited my artwork in galleries around Spain.
As an Art Teacher I aim to create a fun and supportive environment for all of my students, a place where they can feel free to express themselves creatively and most importantly, where there is no such thing as a mistake!Reviews
