During this class, I will take your student step by step in creating a Real Cat also inspired by the  Warrior Cat Tallstar. You do not need to read the Warrior Cat series to take this class. You only need to like cats! 

We love to draw these fun characters and talk about their uniqueness!  From building the shape of the cat to adding the details, depth, shading, and texture!  Drawing Warrior Cats is a great way for your artist to draw what they love by learning the proper terms and techniques! 

~ IMPORTANT~ Be on time for class! 
This is a step-by-step lesson and you need to be on time. If your artist is late for any reason I will let them in class and they can participate where we are in the drawing. I will offer your artist the option of doing the complete lesson on the recording after class has finished and the lesson has been uploaded to the cloud.

Drawing is something you can practice continually and still find room for improvement. If you’re looking to sharpen your skills, there are three areas you can focus on. The first is the construction or building of your subject; making construction sketches lightly on the page is an essential habit that saves time and produces consistency when drawing the same object in different poses. Another area is simplification, or breaking things down into their most basic elements. Finally, focus on expressing volume and weight through highlights and shadows. Of course, it takes time and hard work to improve your drawing, but following these tips will help get you there!  Your artist will build confidence!  

Art develops problem-solving skills.  
Art engages the creative mind.
Art will allow you to express emotions that may be difficult in other ways (words / social interactions).

Art allows connection with other people.
