Fiesta de arte Kawaii Doodle: ¡Personajes lindos!

In this ongoing class, students will have so much fun drawing all different types of cute anime and kawaii style characters. We will discuss the use of basic shapes to make characters that are unique for each student. We will look at different ways eye shapes, ear placement, and mouth expressions change the the look and feel of our characters. We will discuss how to visually represent emotions. Students will practice drawing using a pencil and eraser. Students can also use marker to draw a final outline of their characters. We will end each class with coloring in our creations with markers or colored pencils.

***Please note that this is not a "Step-by-Step" class. My teaching style is to present Kawaii drawing techniques and themes through demonstration and discussion, then let students express themselves creatively.

Schedule:
Week of April 17: Bounce Party: Kangaroo, Sheep, and Fox on Trampolines
Week of April 24: Garden Party: Flowers, Butterflies and Birds

This class is taking a pause for summer.

My teaching style is enthusiastic, and this class is designed to be a fun and supportive environment where students can try new drawing techniques. Students will be encouraged to draw characters from their imaginations. I will be drawing along with students and I can give students suggestions or ideas any time. Students will get a chance to talk about their favorite anime books or shows, and interact with me and with other students.

Students can share their artwork at any time during class time, and I will give positive, enthusiastic feedback to each student.

Drawing experience and enthusiasm recommended!
