Grab your materials, and let's create some cute Squishmallows! 
(Your favorite Squishmallow stuffies are welcome to join in as well. We will do a show & tell at the end of classes if/when time permits.)
In this Ongoing Art Class, we will be creating a different Squishmallow drawing each week! Each Squishmallow has a name, a 'Squad', and a biography. We will be learning about our subjects as we draw.
 
This class is structured for Beginner to Intermediate artist- No previous experience is required, and the drawings can easily be modified dependent on how much detail each learner would like to incorporate. 

Learners are welcome to join the club at any point, space permitting. 
The club structure allows learners to get together each week with familiar faces, in a supportive and positive environment. I create each drawing in advance, and then teach the class how to create their very own, step-by-step using simple shapes and lines, in a social and engaging setting. 
It's all about having FUN while exercising our creativity! Students will have 'Artistic freedom' to add their own spin on each piece we create. Students will be encouraged to show off their artwork during the draw-along, and engage with questions and answers.

The last 5-10 minutes of class will be designated to adding color to their drawings using colored pencils, markers, or crayons.

I use a second camera, so learners are able to see the in-progress and completed drawing up close. **Chromebook users- Please be sure your Chromebook is capable of using 'Gallery View' on Zoom in advance

This class will begin with a short introduction and meet and greet of the class, I will then go over some basic drawing techniques for any new students (and a refresher for others) then we will dive in!

Attendance Policy:
The class will begin on time. In order to create a smooth class for my students, we will have to continue forward if a learner arrives late. All of my classes are recorded. If a learner arrives tardy to the class, I will encourage them to watch the recording after class to catch up on anything they may have missed.

It is my goal to complete the designated drawing each week. Because the subject will vary from week to week, in the rare circumstance that we are unable to complete a drawing in the allotted time, we will complete it the following week, before starting the new drawing.
