If your young learner likes to draw OR if your young learner would like to learn to draw...this class is for them! 

Each class will start with a greeting and ensuring that every student has the required materials.  I will use a document camera to show how to draw the picture and use descriptive words as I do so. We will work on identifying shapes and lines as we draw. Each picture will be drawn step-by-step.  This requires the students to follow directions using their visual and auditory skills. 

When the picture is complete, the class will spend the time coloring our pictures with either crayons or colored pencils.  I will give the students options for colors and adding details.  Art is a form that has to be given options...there's no right or wrong! 

**Upon request: I can post a partially drawn picture to the classroom each week if your learner would prefer to trace along with us and then color.**

**The class will then return to the beginning of this list.**

I offer weekly challenges for students who may want to take their drawings a step further.  This could include adding certain backgrounds or adding other items/themes to their character.  

To complete the project, the students can use markers to outline their animal, food, or item.  This makes the picture look more complete!  If you allow your student to use markers, please, make sure that they are washable. 

If the students need more time, they are welcome to complete or add to their project after our class time!  Photographs of their artwork can be added to the classroom page!  I would love to see all of the completed projects!

Let's get creative!
