Each week we will discuss and draw new sea creatures! We plan to cover popular sea creatures! This will be an exciting opportunity to expand learning for learners enrolled in our other clubs.

Learners are encouraged to understand how to "unmute" if called upon in class as occasionally we will have to use the "mute all" function if there is excessive background noise.

Depending on how many learners are enrolled in each of our meetings, our goal is to cover 2 to 5 topics for each meeting. The clubs have a range of 2 to 16 weeks +/-, where each the topics starts over after the meetings are finished. For instance, after week 16, we start back over to week 1, unless we extend it to more meetings.

Most of our classes are listed under the “Arts” or “Life Skills” categories, so my goal is to inspire learners to use their imagination and curiosity when drawing rather than a class that presents specific facts. 

We utilize a casual drawing atmosphere rather than instruction on the specifics of drawing technique or artistic technique. Most of our classes utilize a digital timer from the teacher’s screen, giving each learner a few minutes to draw and then share their drawing if they would like to. It is okay if they do not finish the drawing or if they want to keep drawing the previous topic while other learners continue drawing.

We usually will share our drawings with the class and then move to the next topic after most learners have finished sharing. The order for each week may vary and the lists may combine pending unforeseen circumstances.

Per Outschool: As the host, I have the ability to mute all participants and manage when a participant can unmute themselves. This can be helpful for avoiding background noise and maintaining a focused learning environment. Be sure your learner knows how to click to ask to unmute and maintain a respectful tone during class.
