Arte de April Flex: Cómo dibujar dinosaurios realistas

In a Flex class, there are NO LIVE MEETINGS. This means your child will receive pre-recorded video lessons they can watch at their own pace on whatever schedule works best! Each video lesson will utilize a top view camera to show up close each step in detail. 

HOW IT WORKS:
On Mondays, I will post the week's video in the classroom and it will be available for the duration of the Flex session. Students may work on their drawings using this recording as their schedule allows! On Wednesdays, students will also be given a question or prompt to respond to in the classroom so all of our learners can get to know each other and find some common interests. An example would be, "When did you first become interested in art?" Or "What is your favorite thing to paint or material to use and why?" By Friday, students are to submit photos and/or video of their work including any explanations they would like to add about their work or process via comments in the classroom or a video explanation. I will give detailed individual feedback to each post. I LOVE seeing student work and look forward to seeing each student's individual style shine through in their drawings! Students are to view other student submissions throughout the week to see how each learner worked to complete their pictures and post questions or comments in the classroom for our community of learners to see and respond to. I will model ways to offer constructive criticism and kind compliments so students learn appropriate ways to discuss other's artwork. More information may be found in the Homework Section.

PEER INTERACTION: 
Each week, students are to engage in a fun scavenger hunt for images similar to what we are drawing. These images can be other artist's renderings or photos of the actual dinosaurs. They should post theses images to the classroom for others to use as reference material for that week’s drawing. 

CLASS DETAILS AND SUPPLIES
Each video tutorial will be approximately 20-30 minutes long, some week’s are broken up into Video 1: The Drawing Video 2: Shading.  As with all of my classes, if the student's art work takes a different turn, I fully encourage them to go with it and see where it leads! Creativity and the art process is always more important than the product! All drawings will be demonstrated via a top view camera using artist pencils and white drawing paper. Students are free to add any materials they wish to enhance their drawings. Some options include charcoal, colored pencils, marker, watercolor.
