Class Experience

In this fun one-time class students will learn how to successfully draw a self portrait in the Japanese kawaii chibi style with step by step instructions. We will go over tips and tricks to achieve an authentic self portrait in the popular kawaii style, each creating our own individual drawing by the end of class. I will use slides and live drawing to teach. Starting with the shape of the face and body, we will then go over how to map out where all the features will go and how to draw the eyes, nose, mouth and hair in an easy and achievable way. I will also give some great tips about shading and colouring in. Before we start the tutorial I will give a brief introduction to the kawaii and chibi style and students can share any knowledge they have about it - this will be a great opportunity to get the students talking and interacting in the lesson. My teaching style is very enthusiastic and I like to encourage my students by praising what they are doing well and giving them constructive feedback if they have any questions. The best way to learn is through doing and so my lesson will be very interactive and engaging. The students will need some plain paper, an eraser, sharpener and coloured pens or pencils, including the colour black. No required experience or knowledge is needed for this class. Just a joy and curious attitude about art and how to draw!

Hello! My name is Harriet Horner and I am from London in the UK. I teach creative classes, including interesting and dynamic art classes, along with art history classes. They including a lot of making and creating from the students side and most importantly they are very fun! 

I have a bachelors degree in Fine Art from University of the Arts London and have worked with the acclaimed artist Anish Kapoor for over 3 years. I also have my own art studio and have exhibited my art work around London and in the Venice Biennale! As well as my colourful art background I have also obtained a TEFL and have been teaching English online to foreign students from the ages of 5 - 12. I love it! But I cant wait to combine my love of art with my love of teaching and believe that my enthusiasm and knowledge in the subject will bring a great learning experience to my students. 

I believe the best way to learn is through doing so I always encourage my students to get involved, get stuck in and trust in the process! I love to interact with my students and get to know them in the lessons. I am an encouraging, enthusiastic and patient teacher who will give my students the tools they need to let their creativity flow and positive reinforcement to help boost their confidence in their own creative skillset.
