동물 그림 완전 소개 자기 주도 학습

This course is a thorough introduction to animal drawing that would be both fun and useful for all who love animals and drawing. This course is a very detailed step by step guidance through all the main aspects of drawing, such as composition, perspective, proportions, shading, understanding color, hatching techniques, layering and more! We will create eight awesome art projects using different approaches and new techniques in each one of them. 

We will have a chance to draw a wide variety of animals (real and imaginary), touching base on each animal group. 

We will be learning not one, but four different art styles, so it is a perfect way to explore various ways to create art and find your own unique style and approach. Teacher's attention and careful guidance will help boosting each student's unique set of skills to the next level. 

We will be using the most accessible supplies (graphite pencils, pens, markers and colored pencils) to create our projects. Teacher will be uploading a few videos each week, which will include a few drawing exercises, some art theory and the main weekly project. Drawing process will be divided into a few steps with detailed information on what we are doing and why. Students will have one week to finish each piece and send it to the teacher through private messaging or upload it to the classroom.

Students will receive a personalized constructive feedback on their work each week, as well as support and encouragement when needed during the drawing process. I will also promote students' communication with each other by posting an interactive activity for the students to work on together each week, such as trivia quizzes on drawing and fun fact sharing.
