In this ongoing class we will meet to draw and discuss our OCs (Original Characters) -

What is an original character? A character that you made! It might be inspired by lore and ideas that you have developed or it might be influenced from fandoms such as: Splatoon, Roblox, Omori, Minecraft, Genshin Impact, Vocaloids, Gacha Life, Gacha Club, Animals, Warrior Cats, Wings of Fire, Dragons, Dungeons and Dragons (DnD), Pokémon, Fantasy, Mythology, Piccrew, Undertale, Anime or Chibi humans — you name it!  In this club, we will discuss your ideas as we draw our characters. 

Please note, this is primarily a social and sharing club. It is a relaxed class where learners may create at their own pace. As such, the meetings do not contain a directed draw component. Ultimately, it is an opportunity to meet and build a community with peers who share interests!

This is also an LGBTQIA+ inclusive space; many people may design OCs to better understand their own identity or to show support to the community. That will be embraced in this class - we will not be judgemental of anyone's identity or creativity.

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀:
𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴:
• For general inquiries and messages, please be advised that I will do my best to reply within 24 hours. 

𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽:
• Please note, I log into all my classes ten minutes early. During that time, I will do my best to assist you if you require technical help. However, I need to begin class at the start time. If you are unable to connect, we may need to address technical issues after class.

𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀:
• All of my classes operate under Outschool’s Standard Refund Policy: Refund within 24 hours of payment until your next meeting or lesson access begins. More information on this policy can be found here: https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/4626920-class-specific-refund-policies-and-automatic-refunds
• Payments for classes cannot be transferred to future weeks.
•  If your learner misses a class meeting, you are not entitled to a refund. In the event that class is missed, a recording of the class will be available for you in the classroom after the session has been completed.
•  This policy applies when you have notified me of an absence ahead of time; the payment holds your seat and gives you access to the recording. 
• You may withdraw from the class and re-enrol if you do not wish to be charged during an extended period of absences. You may also opt for the pause feature but please note a pause does not hold your seat. If you wish to have your seat held, you can opt to pay for the subscription.
•  Please note that due to safety policy - in the event where you are unable to attend the first class you have registered for, the recordings of the class will become available after your first live attendance. 
• There are no discounts issued for siblings and/or the registration of multiple classes.

𝗣𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆:
• If a student is late, I will greet them and continue the lesson. I will not be able to reteach content. Once the session has ended, the recording will be available in the classroom.

𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
• If you have not completed the Outschool Learner Verification process, I will require you to begin every class with your webcam turned on. You may turn it off once you have been verified by me, if you wish. 
• Learners who are not verified and do not connect to a webcam will be put into the waiting room until they are able to reconnect to the meeting with a working camera. If I am unable to verify a learner during the class time, I will follow-up with both the adult who registered the learner and Outschool's Trust and Safety Team. 
• If a class is full, I may review “mute”, “unmute”, and “raise hand” options for effective classroom communication
• I may call on learners and help facilitate conversation; I ask that only one person speak at a time. 
• Learners may use the “chat” feature to communicate
• If learners are not able to use the "chat" feature in a respectful way (ie. they spamming the chat or being inappropriate), the chat may be set so that learners are only able to speak with the instructor. 
• If a learner is unable to adhere to these guidelines or is being disrespectful, they will be given up to two warnings. If a learner continues with disrespectful behaviour they may be put into the waiting room or be asked to leave; they can follow the rest of the class through the recording posted in the classroom.
