Welcome to The Painting Panda Classroom: Learn to draw BASIC Pokémon part 4!

This is a Flex class, meaning NO LIVE CLASSES, you sign up and then watch the videos as your schedule allows, participate in the classroom discussion, ask any question you want, and share your work as you complete each project.    

We have already covered a bunch of cool pokemon in Parts 1, 2, 3 of this class series.  So are you ready for the next set of amazing Pokemon?  I am!  Now for some new exciting pokemon, perhaps ones you may not know as well, or perhaps you do know these pokemon well!   You don't want to miss this class as we're stepping up our drawing skills!

  I will post my instruction videos, my step-by-step videos by week each Monday no later than 5pm EST.  On Wednesdays it is peer and teacher interaction day for fun extra games like “ Who’s that Pokémon?”, Who am I ?, Pokémon weakness games. Plus weekly video clips of everyone sharing their Pokémon cards, toys, and other items.  I'll check into class to see how everyone is doing through specific questions I post to the classroom, I will also post any tips videos relevant to that week's project, Pokemon passion item Show and Tells (with images or video clips), and or interactive video clip. Also for Wednesday’s, I have created an interactive classroom specifically designed to help give students more interaction with each other and myself outside of our drawing projects.  The classroom will have a variety of video clips I've created, found on youtube, or Q&A, or FAQs I've created.  Parents please read the parent guidance section for this class, as students will need your approval to participate with this classroom. Friday is our Art Show and Tell day, this means that students upload an image or video clip of their art work directly to the classroom on this day, and then comment on at least one other classmate's art in a polite, positive manner.  I will do a video about how to offer supportive, encouraging, but meaningful advise from classmate to classmate.  On Fridays I'll check into class to see finished projects from students (that they have uploaded to class), and give simple feedback.  I will not be doing formal assessments during this time, but rather will be teaching students how to have positive peer led review opportunities.  This is of course optional if there is a student that really doesn't feel comfortable doing so, however it is also highly encouraged with this type of participation.  I do also give my own engaging words of wisdom, tips, and praise to each individual student who shares their art in our classroom.  Sunday's are my off days, and I won't respond to anything on this day.  This is of course based off my location in North Carolina USA in the EST zone.

Since this is a 4 week course, with 2 projects per week, plus interactive requirements, if your child needs more time to work on projects, please contact me to work something out.  Please use the parent email option or the child's email option, do not post personal information or questions in the classroom as that is a child friendly place.

For each week we will focus on 2 Pokémon to draw together as a class!  Each Pokémon will have their own step-by-step video you'll be able to watch how ever many times, at whatever time you want.    I'll be showing different Basic techniques for drawing that Pokémon (outline, coloring, light shading and basic cartoon styles, depending on the week).  We will cover many types of Pokémon, basics/ classics first, with the first week doing my personal favorite Pokémon.  

Since this is a drawing class, a Pokémon journal would be perfect to keep all the drawings in.  You can easily buy a 8x10 (or similar size) spiral bound drawing pad (blank paper).  For the rest of the supplies please see the list posted below.  

Here is the list of Pokemon we'll be covering for this class:
Week 1:  Ninetales, Oricorio, 
Week 2:  Dragonite, Altaria, 
Week 3:  Grumpig, Spoink, 
Week 4: Poliwrath, Mamoswine,
