In this one-time art class, students will follow a step-by-step live demonstration in order to draw some cute dogs and puppies. I will use two cameras so that the students will be able to see me as well as a close-up of the live drawing demonstration. I will be drawing on paper and students will be able to watch me draw through my document camera. 

We will draw two dogs during this class. We will begin by using simple shapes and lines, and then we will add the details. Students will be shown different options for the details of the dogs. They will get to choose the ears, tails, body shape, and fur texture for their drawings. They will also be shown different ways to draw the details of the face. 

In order to help students customize their art, I will provide a printable PDF guide that contains 25 basic templates for 30+ different dog breeds. If your child wants to draw a specific breed of dog, this guide may be helpful! Students do not HAVE to bring this template to class, but it may be beneficial for them to have it with them. They may also choose to preview the guide before class so that they have ideas in mind.

If there is time, students may begin coloring in class, but they may need to color after class. 

The atmosphere of this class will be relaxed, positive, and fun. Creativity and imagination will always be encouraged. I believe that everyone’s drawing style is unique, so students are always welcome to add their own special touches to their artwork. At the end of the lesson, students will have the opportunity to show and share their art, but this will not be required. 


The class structure will be as follows:
1) We’ll say hello and go over some brief classroom expectations.
2) We’ll sketch two dogs in a step-by-step fashion.
3) Time permitting, we’ll color and outline our sketches.
4) Students will have the option to show and share their art.
5) We’ll say our goodbyes!



Students are encouraged to raise their hands and ask for help if needed. I will do my best to ensure that students are caught up and ready to move on to the next step, but I also must ensure that we proceed with the lesson in a timely manner.  Keep in mind that the class recording will be available after the lesson has ended, so students can go back and watch the demonstration again if needed.


Prior drawing experience is helpful but not required for this class. 

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

I look forward to drawing with you!
