I will take your student on a journey, inspire, and build confidence.

ABOUT
This is a self-paced course, so there is no class time for live instruction. The parent and student artist will determine the best time according to their schedule. This is great for busy or uncertain schedules and any time zone! This course allows time for the student to pause the program and really work on their technique, details, and confidence. There is no need to rush through the class. Take your time and enjoy drawing the things you love!

In each video lesson, I demonstrate new artistic techniques and show examples of finished artwork produced with those techniques. Lessons run from 35 - 55 minutes, depending on the artist's abilities and desire to add more to the lesson!
~There are no live classes, however, there will be plenty of interactions between the students and myself.
~You choose the time and day you want to attend class.
~These lessons have all been in many of my live classes and have proven to be fun, inspiring, and even a fun challenge!
~Art classes make the perfect SELF-PACE classes as students can pause or make changes to their piece as they see fit, the lessons can be done when they fit into the day without the worry of getting behind as it's a high-interest subject kids will want to work.

In this course, students will learn that growth in a subject matter such as art comes from repetition and breaking larger, more complex drawings into simple shapes. My goal is always to make drawing less stressful and more fun, to increase students’ confidence levels, and to help them see mistakes happen and can actually be good sometimes, and that art is a great relaxation activity. After the class, I noticed so many of my students are eager to keep drawing and creating more!  It is amazing how inspired your artist becomes after they learn the proper techniques to draw. They have the tools they need to be creative and now the confidence to go and draw more!
This is not a course for written grades, but I do give feedback when asked by the students in class. I stay positive while also offering constructive advice on how they could take their project to the next level. In every lesson, I teach I encourage every artist to make the drawing their very own. So I encourage them to add some extras, draw in their own style, and let them know their art does not have to look exactly like mine! My feedback is only ever positive and encouraging! Students will leave my class feeling empowered and encouraged, and I am sure they will be eager to draw more!

This SELF-PACED course is also a great option for:
~ Traveling / vacationing periods.
~ International students.
~ Students that prefer their own pacing.
~ Younger artists want to build their skills.

VIDEO LESSON  
After a short introduction, 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.  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. I encourage artists to draw with the proper techniques I am teaching, but to make the art their very own. Use their style and develop a story to go along with their art. Once we build our character out, we will add details, texture, shading, and form to our drawing. They are encouraged to pause the lesson so that when they are inspired to take their time to practice their technique.  They have the freedom to take their time. Lessons run from 35 - 55 minutes, depending on the artist's abilities and desire to add more to the lesson!


~Artists can follow step by step and ask questions. I will give feedback on the student's progress and suggestions to improve their artistic skills. Artists are also welcome to ask for help during class at any point, so they never have to worry about getting stuck. I am able to respond during the week. During my live teaching times I am not able to respond. I typically respond in less than 3 hours on a weekday (central time zone).
