創意青少年藝術課，第 2 級：繪畫和概念發展！

I will be teaching intermediate level art, ideal for junior high aged art students. 

I always mute my classes but I encourage learners to unmute themselves and ask questions at any point. 

Learners who take this as an ongoing class will develop as artists over time and learn a variety of drawing skills such as cartooning, rendering, shading, lighting, using pen and ink, pointillism, contour drawing, and pencil drawing

I believe in teaching by example. This means that I paint/draw along with the learner, show them different techniques and explain the process as we embark on our creative journey. This class can accommodate all skill levels. I can teach art from scratch or help a learner develop a portfolio for college art applications. 

Here is a list of the topics we will be exploring over the course of the class, in order. Learners are welcome to choose their own subject matter. Every week, on the day of the class, I will write in the classroom to let learners know what supples will be needed and what we will be focusing on that day from the list below. Please reach out for more information.
