창의적인 청소년을 위한 미술 수업 1부: 그림 그리기와 페인팅의 기초!

I will be teaching intermediate level art, ideal for junior high school aged art students. 

I always mute my classes but I encourage learners to unmute themselves and ask questions at any point. 

Learners who take this as an ongoing class will develop as artists over time and learn a variety of drawing and painting skills.

I will teach a variety of acrylic and watercolour painting techniques. I will teach drawing skills such as cartooning, rendering, perspective, shading, lighting, using pen and ink, pointillism, and pencil drawing

I believe in teaching by example. This means that I paint/draw along with the learner, show them different techniques and explain the process as we embark on our creative journey. This class can accommodate all skill levels. I can teach art from scratch or help a learner develop a portfolio for college art applications.
