In this 3-day journey into drawing in caricature (cartoon), we will first learn how to draw a basic face and map out where the features go, and then we will learn how to move and change these features to create a comical drawing.  Each day, we will focus on different areas to draw, such as hair & face shape, eyes, nose, ears and mouth.  We will practice different ways to exaggerate these features in a cartoon style, using as few strokes of our marker as possible to achieve likeness.  We will be using a different photo each day that I will have displayed on my 2nd camera in my classroom.  On the final day, we will talk about options for coloring our caricatures or using a gray marker for shading and definition.

Only a few supplies are needed for this class, and students have a lot of fun and learn skills they can continue to practice and perhaps even earn money with one day.  I teach the entire hour, and sometimes a bit more, as I am very enthusiastic about this topic and can lose track of time.  Of course, your student may exit the classroom at any time she need to.

**BASIC CLASS NOTES** (Please read)

I begin on time.  If a student is late, they will need to jump in and catch up as they are able.  I cannot re-start the class for each late arrival.  You may view the recording of the class if child arrives late or ends up being unable to attend. 

I encourage creativity and self-expression.  Students may veer from what I am doing to find their own 'voice'.  Also, I encourage interaction during class (please be polite by sharing talk time and muting when there is background noise in the home).  Otherwise, I welcome questions as we go along and open mics during class.
