사람들을 그려보자! 주간 그림 동아리(9-12세 어린이)

Do you like drawing people but have difficulty with features like eyes, noses, mouths, or hair? Do you want a place where you can practice, get advice, or be challenged in your portrait drawing skills? Come join as each week we will draw a different feature together using a provided reference photo. 

We will focus on a different topic each week going through a 5 week rotation of: nose, mouth, eyes, hair, then a full face. 


Week of Nov. 24: Nose
Week of Dec. 1: Mouth
Week of Dec. 8: Eyes
Week of Dec. 15: Hair
Week of Dec. 22: (Christmas Break)
Week of Dec 29: Nose
Week of Jan. 5: Mouth
Week of Jan. 12: Eyes
Week of Jan. 19: Hair
Week of Jan. 26: Full Face
Week of Feb. 2: Nose
Etc...

Through practice and instruction, learners will improve their observation, shading, and blending techniques in pencil drawing. 

Although we rotate through and repeat five main topics (nose, mouth, eyes, hair, full face), the reference photos will always be different each time through. The specific subject is student led, as at the beginning of class students get to vote on 2-3 different reference photos. The photo with the most votes is what we'll draw together. Students are also welcome and encouraged to give suggestions for future reference photos, based on what they'd like to learn or practice (specific expressions, hair textures, eye colors, etc.). 

This class may be better suited for those who are intermediate or advanced artists, but beginners are welcome to give it a try. The teacher will provide a step-by-step process as well as useful tips and techniques throughout our time together, and the learners are highly encouraged to ask questions and share their work as we draw together.
