크리스마스 그림 동아리

In this ongoing Christmas art club, students will learn to draw a variety of holiday themed subjects using colored pencil and pencil (polar bear and Christmas tree, gnome Christmas tree, Santa's elf and presents, and Santa Claus).

Please note that since this is an ongoing course, students can enroll or withdraw at any time.  Each scheduled meeting will be spent drawing ONE picture and learning different colored pencil/sketching techniques.  Students do not need to be enrolled in previous weeks of this class to be successful.  Please check the weekly break-down below for specific learning goals of each class.  Please check the scheduled times below to see which week each drawing will be taught and the materials needed for each drawing, (found in the supply list). 

For every class, I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me.  My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative environment where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged and a great place for students to make lasting friendships.  I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding.  Students may also interact with each other if they want to share what they have learned during class.  Students who enroll in this class should have basic drawing skills, like drawing and manipulating shapes with a pencil.
