Club de arte: diseña tus propios Squishmallows

During this weekly, ongoing class, students will design their own Squishmallows. After we decide which Squishmallow to draw, there will be a step-by-step instruction. However, since it's the students design, they can add to or change the design as they wish. We will draw using a pencil first, and then, if time allows, the students may use colored pencils, markers, pens, and/ or crayons to color their drawings. 

Sometimes, the students can vote to either color or draw something else. If the students choose to draw something else, the students will be encouraged to color after class and share it with everyone during the next class or post it to the classroom wall to share with everyone.

During the class, we can socialize and talk about our favorite Squishmallows and/or fandoms. 

⚠️ Sometimes, there may be holiday themed Squishmallows. If you don't celebrate holidays, please reach out to me and we can discuss it. Thanks!

My goal for this class is to not only teach the students how to draw each Squishmallow, but to also give the students practice and techniques to improve their artistic skills on a regular basis. Practice = progress. My hope is to help the students to eventually be able to draw Squishmallows on their own and I hope to help them build their skills, as an artist.

Each week, the students will take turns choosing which Squishmallows they want to draw. We will do as many Squishmallows as we can during the time that we have. 

Knowledge of prior drawing classes will not be necessary since there will be new Squishmallows to draw every week. Students can join this class at any point without getting lost. This is a no pressure class. We are just drawing, socializing, and having fun! 

Feel free to bring your favorite Squishmallows as inspiration. 

If a student is slow at drawing, it's okay! We all create at our own pace, but unfortunately, we only have the time that we have so the student may be encouraged to finish their piece after class. The classes are recorded so the students are able to watch the recording, go at their own pace (by pausing the video), and try to draw it again.

2 cameras will be used during class, one to show my face and one to show my hands and the drawings. 

Students will have the option to share their drawing during class, if they want to.

Students may be muted if there is a lot of background noise. Please show them how to unmute themselves when they are ready to talk. Thanks!

⚠️ Note: If I don't have a day or time that works for you, please reach out and I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
