In this one-time art class, students will follow a live step-by-step demonstration in order to draw red pandas in a kawaii cartoon art style. I will use two cameras so that the students will be able to see me as well as a close-up of the drawing demonstration. We will begin by using simple shapes and lines, and then we will add in the details. Students will be shown different options to customize the details of the red pandas including variations in poses, facial expressions, and more! 

We will draw at least two red pandas, but if time allows, we may complete additional drawings. There also may be some time for students to color, but they may need to finish coloring after class. Please note that the number of drawings we do will depend on the skill level and work pace of the class. The amount of coloring time will also depend on these factors. 

The atmosphere of this class will be positive and supportive. Creativity and imagination will always be encouraged. Everyone’s drawing style is unique, so students are always welcome to add their own special touches to their artwork! 

At the end of the class, students will have the option to show and share their art on camera, but this will not be required. 


Class structure will be as follows:
1) We’ll greet each other and briefly go over some classroom expectations.
2) We’ll draw two (or more) red pandas in a step-by-step fashion.
3) Time permitting, we’ll color our drawings and chat.
4) Students will have the option to show and share their art.
5) We’ll say our goodbyes!


Please note that I will do my best to ensure that students are caught up and ready to move on to the next step, but I also must ensure that we proceed with the lesson in a timely manner.  Keep in mind that the class recording will be available after the lesson has ended, so students can go back and watch the demonstration again if needed.

I will also provide a downloadable printout on the classroom tab with some illustrations of red pandas. Students do not need to bring this printout to class; It’s just an optional bonus activity! Students may color these illustrations after class, or use these illustrations as a reference, so that they can continue to practice their drawing skills. 

Prior drawing experience is helpful but not required for this class. Students should feel comfortable drawing simple shapes like circles, triangles, and ovals.

I can't wait to draw with you! See you soon!
