絵を描く、絵画を描く、そしてもっと！マンツーマン指導 - 60分

This class is for students at any skill level who desire to develop their artistic abilities more precisely. We will explore a variety of mediums, or one in particular, depending on the student’s choice. These include: graphite or colored pencil, watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, pastels, cartooning and sculpting with air- dry clay. However, because drawing is usually the preliminary step, this skill should be learned first. The one-on- one platform provides the opportunity to concentrate on preferred techniques, with the student being able to choose what they would like to create. It could be an animal, a favorite character, a family member, or even a self- portrait.  The subject should be chosen prior to class, as well as having the image available as a photo, a printed picture, or on a device. It will be used as constant reference during instruction. The goal is for the student to accurately learn how to interpret the image as their own creation using a desired medium. We will be taking our time with each step involved within a skill until the desired effect is achieved.  Projects will be completed over the course of 1 meeting per week, or of longer duration if needed. The student will communicate what goals they would like to reach, and we will build on developing them.  In regard to drawing, the goals include: proper proportion, likeness accuracy, shading, etc.  I will be screen sharing the desired image and by using annotation, I will be demonstrating how to determine the shapes and lines contributing to proportion. Values and shading will be learned next.  My work will be visible throughout using an over-head camera. Goals related to other mediums mentioned will be discussed and facilitated. 
Neurodiverse students are welcome!  I am fully aware of the positive emotional effects the creative arts have on the cognitive and behaviorally challenged. Thus, I ensure that the pace and nature of the class accommodate the specific needs of all students. 
In addition, I believe having the option to choose contributes toward inspiration, enthusiasm, and motivation regarding their entire class experience.  I would love to guide your learner toward discovering their artistic potential!
