Arte animal de invierno: boceto de un oso polar helado

In this one-time drawing course, students will learn how to sketch a realistic full body portrait of a polar bear standing on an iceberg with a body of water in the background.  

What will students learn?

1. Students will learn techniques for sketching a proportionate contour drawing (outline) of a polar bear. 
2. Students will learn techniques for smooth blending, pencil application, gradient blending, and adding contrast.
3. Students will learn techniques for sketching realistic fur texture.
4. Students will learn techniques for sketching realistic water.

I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me.  My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative environment where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged.  I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding.  Students may also interact with each other if they want to share what they have learned during class.  Students who enroll in this class should have basic drawing skills, like drawing and manipulating shapes with a pencil.  In this class, we practice more advanced techniques (fur detailing, full-body portrait, realistic water sketching, etc.)
