In this one-time course, students will learn to draw famous Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse & Buzz Lightyear as Squishmallows while also creating fun & interesting background scenes. Students will learn artist tips for:

- Basic shape drawing
- Perspective, shading, coloring
- Techniques for using your hand to create smooth, natural, straight and curved lines
- Proportions and ideas for designing background scenes

A printable coloring page is also included for this class upon enrollment! 

At the beginning of class, students are invited to briefly share art, toys and ideas while students enter the classroom. 

Students will then be led by step-by-step, directed drawing instructions. Several skills-based artist tips and tricks will be shared throughout class. Although step-by-step instruction is provided, students are also encouraged to work at their own pace and use their own creative ideas to change and add onto their art. 

My classes follow a relaxed, informal format where students are able to follow the directed drawing but also work to their own pace and abilities. We will often play music and engage in informal discussion during class, but students who prefer to remain silent are also welcome.

Each class is highly interactive and usually includes a fun surprise at the end such as opening a mystery bag or sharing a magic trick.

- These are WYSIWIG art classes: What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get! All thumbnails, promotional materials, class resources, and in-class drawings are original art produced by Marie (the teacher). Students are often offered a variety of reference images and resources from popular art styles to choose so they can draw in their preferred style, but special focus is paid to developing student's original art skills and not simply copying another artist. All images, drawings or other art resources are never taken from other artists to use as promotional materials.
