Get $6 off my class "Character Posing! Character Design and Original Character Figure Drawing Class" with coupon code MARISSAPOSE6 until Apr 14.

Take your character designs or original characters to the next level by adding dynamic and exciting poses! 

What will be taught:
In this ongoing class, artists will learn how to break down different human poses from real photos and enhance it using their own unique art styles! While artists are welcome to use digital media software, I will be drawing with pencil and paper to demonstrate sketching skills and techniques. 

What topics will be covered:
Throughout the lessons, we will cover many figure drawing topics such as "line of action", silhouette posing, basic human anatomy and movements, action poses, sitting and standing poses, how to adjust realistic human figure drawing to fit different artistic styles, how clothing fits and moves on the human form, and so much more!

How is the class structured, teacher interaction, and how will I teach:
During each class, I will teach artists how to use realistic figure drawing techniques to draw human poses of different complexities. Each 55-min lesson will work on 1 (one) pose in a step-by-step instruction and will aim to reserve time for artists to turn their figure drawings into original characters on their own or with my assistance. During the step-by-step instruction, it is expected that learners will work silently and quietly notify me if they need help. Learners will be given time to catch up or make adjustments at any time and I can assist in any way I can. 
Throughout the class, I will announce opportunities to share their work in progress and their final drawings. The entire classroom will be expected to share constructive criticism positively and be kind and patient with each other and I will enforce this with each learner. Based on learner pacing and the complexity of the lesson, not all drawings may be completed by the end of the class. Learners can choose to finish their lessons after class on their own time. (Class structure is subject to adjust/change to improve on classroom effectiveness

What is my teaching style:
My teaching style for this class is influenced by a "student lead" format where I will also facilitate conversations, manage classroom behaviors and teach drawing skills and techniques. While they will be taught techniques on drawing accuracy, learners will be encouraged to not dwell on "perfections", but instead use their current skills and drawing styles to create unique drawings. 

Each class instills my key values for art and creativity:

1. Growth in your skill can flourish so much more when you are enjoying the adventure.
I take each of your learners' individual development earnestly. Each interaction I have with your learner will be to guide and empower them to take charge of their own artistic and creative journey with all the tools, techniques, and tricks I can provide. 

2. I believe that knowledge and exploration is a key component to creativity. 
Every day I strive to learn something new and explore my talents every so I can lead your learner by example. The more information we have about the world around us can inspire our minds in endless ways 

3. A creative mind is only as strong as the community they find themselves in.
Every learner is encouraged to support and encourage each other through positive words, sharing their strengths, patience and understanding. Each learner brings with them their own unique experiences and ideas so I try to motivate everyone to collaborate, inspire, and be inspired

Remember: being the best version of you begins with trying your best and I will be overjoyed to help your learner along this journey!
