I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me.  My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative space where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged.  I strive for my classroom to be a positive environment for students to learn from each other, ask questions, and make lasting friendships. I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding.

Students who enroll in this class should have basic drawing skills, like drawing and manipulating shapes with a pencil.  Students do not need a lot of prior realistic drawing experience to be successful in this class.
