Bring your markers and crayons as we draw Insects, Arachnids and Arthropods!

Learners are encouraged to draw their own interpretation and imagination. Depending on how many learners are enrolled in each of our meetings, our goal is to cover 2 to 5 topics for each meeting.  Pending unforeseen circumstances, materials will cycle every 10 Weeks.

Most of our classes are listed under the “Arts” or “Life Skills” categories, so my goal is to utilize a casual drawing atmosphere rather than instruction on the specifics of drawing technique or artistic technique. Most of our classes utilize a digital timer from the teacher’s screen, giving each learner a few minutes to draw and then share their drawing if they would like to. It is okay if they do not finish the drawing or if they want to keep drawing the previous topic while other learners continue drawing.

We usually will share our drawings with the class and then move to the next topic after most learners have finished sharing. Our classes cover very basic information such as the location of a landmark.is to inspire learners to use their imagination and curiosity when drawing rather than a class that presents specific facts. Learners are encouraged to know how to mute/unmute themselves.
