In this class, I will take your student step by step through the process of drawing and creating a Dragon 3-D Pop-Up Art! I will begin by teaching the class how to build the pop-up portion of the card. Then I will use easy shapes to draw the dragon out before we add the color. After we complete all the steps to drawing out our character, then I will show them how to complete the project and glue it all together!  We will have a fun time making a 3D pop-up art Dragon together. This class is interactive so I will be able to help if they have a question or get a creative idea they want to share!  This is a fun paper craft that your student will want to do over and over with many creatures!

~ IMPORTANT~ Be on time for class! 
This is a step-by-step lesson and you need to be on time. If your artist is late for any reason I will let them in class and they can participate where we are in the drawing. I will offer your artist the option of doing the complete lesson on the recording after class has finished and the lesson has been uploaded to the cloud.

Required Supplies:
~Two same-size sheets of THICK white paper - I will use 8 1/2 x 11 white cardstock or mixed media paper
~Pencil and eraser
~Scissors
~Glue stick
~Colors: Markers, crayons, OR colored pencils. No paint in this class, please.

BEFORE CLASS
Students should start logging into class about 10 mins before the scheduled start time. This allows time for you to resolve any technical issues with your device's connection.  If you are using a battery-powered device (laptop, Ipad, etc) be sure it is fully charged or connected to the power supply.
I will use this time for students to show me any art they have completed and any questions before starting the class session.

START OF CLASS
First thing, we will go over the supplies needed for the lesson and will ask each student their name. I encourage students to use the chatbox during class for questions. If they have an answer to my questions they are then allowed to unmute to answer the question. I love class participation!  Especially when we learn from each other about art!

Then I will begin the step-by-step process of drawing out our character in easy-to-follow instructions. Each step will be broken down to the simplest form by using common shapes like circles and lines.  My favorite is comparing shapes to food!  Like a potato or a pizza. This frees the artist to allow for imperfections in their initial sketch. Once we build our character out, we will add details, texture, shading, and form to our drawing. If it is a painting we will add these using watercolor paints.

My teaching style is very patient and fun! We love to laugh and enjoy being creative together. My passion is to inspire kids to be creative in hopes this will build their confidence as an artist and as an individual. Each student is important and contributes to the class.

END OF CLASS
At the end of class, each student is allowed to show their work on the screen and tell the class about their work!  This is a big confidence booster!  You can see how much they worked and listened in class when they hold up their final art piece!  Thank you for encouraging your artist to be creative!

If they are not, they are to be placed in the waiting room until the parent can make arrangements to register the extra learners or the teacher may refund them.  We understand the desire for friends or siblings to watch, but if two children are participating under one registration, they will be sent back to the waiting room per Outschool policy. One child per registration. It is acceptable for registered learners to share a screen!
