Criaturas mitológicas: cómo dibujar un dragón

In this one-time class, students will learn to draw a dragon step-by-step while we talk about our favorite dragons in literature and movies. The class is ideal for children who love stories and love to draw. 

This is a directed sketching and drawing class with a creative, story-telling spin. We will compare the dragons featured in Pokemon, How to Train Your Dragon, Dungeons and Dragons, Wings of Fire, etc. Students will imagine a fictional world for the dragon, including the terrain and their relationship with the human race. Then I will demonstrate one way to draw the basic body of the magical creature, starting with basic shapes, and working step-by-step. While everyone is drawing, I will provide individual suggestions about each student’s drawing and the story behind it. At the end of the class, everyone will have the opportunity to present their drawing.

My goal is to create a fun, creative learning environment where students can comfortably learn and share their ideas with others who also love mythology, fiction and fantasy, and magical creatures. Students will bring their imagination to life, invent stories about their creatures, and have the opportunity to share their art with other students. This class is great place for aspiring authors, comic artists, and game developers to develop characters and illustrate their backstory.

Warning: This class may contain violence in the artworks and/or discussion. Dragons aren't always docile, friendly creatures, and we should occasionally expect them to start a fire! Dragons may be friendly, dream-walking magical beings, or they may be at war with the neighboring village. If your child doesn't like sometimes mean, scary, fire-breathing dragons or the weapons that may be used to fight them, this may not be the class for you.
