1 hora por semana. I will ask that learners finish their sketch notes every week for homework. Some learners may not have homework if they finish in class time, but additional drawing for homework is always encouraged!Experiencia de clase
What is a Sketchnote? Sketchnoting uses both drawing and note taking to create something comprehensive and powerful! Written and plus simple illustration work together to create something wonderful. The illustrations help you understand the text, and the text helps you interpret the images. Why learn to Sketchnote? So many reasons, but here are a few: A picture really does say 1000 words, so having images to help support the words allows you to study faster! Plus, for more visual learners an image is also easier to remember, so retention of notes will be higher! Furthermore, the simple act of drawing your notes can help with information retention. When does right, it looks so cool! I think that a well designed sketch note is a beautiful piece of art. If you haven't already watched the class video, please doo! It is actually a fun example of a sketchnote!

I will share a list of cool facts about the topic. - SKETCHNOTE TIME! We will all draw notes based on the facts. This class focuses on conceptual thinking, comprehensive drawing, and information organization. I always mute my classes but I encourage learners to unmute themselves and ask questions at any point. Learners who take this as an ongoing class will develop the ability to take notes visually, improve as artists, and learn cool facts about a variety of things! I believe in teaching by example. This means that I draw along with the learners. This class can accommodate all skill levels. Sketchnote taking requires simplified drawing so even people with no drawing experience can learn to sketch note! Come one come all!
Metas de aprendizaje
After one class learners should learn the basics of sketchnote taking and draw simple sketches. Learners will also learn some cool facts about that days sketchnote topic.
After multiple classes, learners should feel comfortable taking their own sketch notes, become proficient at simplified mini drawings, and learn about a variety of topics because I will learn about something new every week.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura desde Alberta College of Arts and Design
I love to teach art, and specialize in drawing (wide variety of styles and techniques), procreate, watercolour, and acrylic painting. When I teach, I like to lead by example. This means that I draw, paint and create with my students. Throughout class I make myself available for questions, assistance and feedback.
I’ve been teaching art for over 5 years, and I have been creating art professionally since 2011. I have illustrated marketing materials for Denny’s, Newman’s Own, Duane Reade, Discovery Children’s Museum, The Mendes Foundation and other clients.
I also have extensive experience in advertising. I’ve been working as an art director (now creative director) for over 17 years. I worked in New York City for 10 years, Cambodia for one, and I currently work remotely out of my home office in Canada. In my advertising career I've made TV commercials, print campaigns, radio spots, online ads, videos and billboards (even some in Time Square.) I love thinking of cool ideas and bringing them to life. I am excited to share this skill with my students.
I believe that art is more than an applicable workplace skill. Art is a form of healthy self-expression and personal reflection. I also believe that art teaches the importance of patience and persistence. It is an education for the mind and soul.
For me, art is meditative. I own dozens of sketchbooks filled with drawings I’ve done throughout the years. Many pages contains a memory, emotion, thought or experience. As a mother, I find additional inspiration through my daughter and new son.
Art is everywhere, if you look for it. Children especially have a gift for finding beauty in the world. I hope to harness this gift so every child in my class can find their own unique, artistic voice.
