Class Experience

In this class, students will learn how illustrators use color and line to create depth and emphasis in their illustrations or creation of characters. Students will turn their favorite animal or own character into a interesting piece of art with depth and movement. Students will follow along with their teacher to create their individual character. Students are encouraged to ask questions and engage in the  class by sharing their progress and giving feedback to other students. After each class, students are encouraged to share their art with the class via the classroom board. Recordings will be made available after each class for students to refer back to terms and techniques covered in each class. 

Each week of study: 
Week 1: Adding Highlights
Week 2: Creating Emphasis through Line
Week 3: Monochromatic with Color

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an illustrator, artist, teacher, business owner, and a pug mom. I have a degree in Illustration, a visual art minor with 20 years of teaching experience. I believe that knowledge is power and the more you know the greater your influence can be. Learning should be fun and individual. Even when my students are looking at the same picture for painting class, their work is very individual and unique to them and I love that part of the creative process. We are all learners and we should celebrate each other on the Journey!
