어린 예술가 8-12세를 위한 드로잉 스케치 마스터가 되십시오, 진행 중인 미술 수업

This ongoing drawing class will cover different drawing subjects and techniques each week. We will cover the different tools such as types of pencils, paper, and erasers. We will cover how to use your arm to draw different shapes.  We will cover the different line weights and strokes used in drawing. The class will cover lighting, shadows, perspective, foreshortening, and more.  Some of the subjects will be eyes, mouths, faces, figures, clothing, still life, buildings, or animals. Each lesson will give specific techniques along with a different subject. Each class will cover a different subject, so drop in to learn to sketch something new. 

The pace of this class is set by watching the students and when more than half or three quarters are not drawing I move on to the next step. I continually ask to let me know if they are done and ready to move on. Thumbs up! Or to please let me know if they need more time.  For the thousands of students I’ve taught this pace works well. I occasionally get a student who takes more time to draw and some who think it’s too slow. Age is not a factor I’ve has as young as 6 do well and teens who need more time. I’ve gotten reply’s it’s too fast for a certain age and I’ve gotten reply’s it’s not advanced enough. I do my best. If your student speaks up I always try to help. 

There is no start or stop schedule. This is an ongoing class that continually repeats. Take one or more. Stay enrolled until the class repeats for you or repeat again. It’s very flexible for you. Students start at all times. Unenroll when you are done.

The class will be taught through demonstration and follow-along. A projection screen will be set up to show a live drawing demonstration. The students can follow step by step and ask questions. I will give feedback on the student's progress and suggestions to improve their artistic skills.
