Club de Arte: Dibujo Anime

During this weekly, ongoing class, students will learn to draw anime characters. 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 animes and mangas. 

This class is learner directed, which means that, each week, the students will take turns choosing which anime character they want to draw. We will do as many characters as we can during the time that we have. 

My goal for this class is to not only teach the students how to draw each character, 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 the characters on their own and to help them build their skills, as an artist, while socializing and having fun.

Knowledge of prior drawing classes will not be necessary since there will be new characters 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! 

If the 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. 

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 or if other students are talking. Please show them how to unmute themselves when they are ready to talk. Thanks!
