This club is geared towards students who are interested in Drawing Anime and Manga style art and learning about Japanese language, vocabulary, and culture. 
 
Class time will be divided between drawing demos (example topic: human figure, fantasy creatures, costumes and fabric, etc) and Introduction Japanese vocabulary, alphabets, and Kanji symbols. We will practice using greetings and phrases as well. Students are encouraged to share their artwork with the teacher and classmates, as well as Anime/Manga art made outside of class, but are not required to do so. Students will write and draw in every class, and the teacher demos will be available in the classroom after class. Future club topics will change in upcoming weeks, and students are encouraged to request topics for future planning.
