繪畫課 - 藝術元素（10-15 歲）

Students will draw with pencils.  We will cover the basics of how to use different pencils for different value, and how to really draw the shapes and lines in the pictures we draw.  Each class will begin with a brief exercise or lesson (about 5 minutes) where we will go over an art element (line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space).  The remainder of the class will be working through the drawing process on one of a variety of subjects: animals, landscapes, food, etc.  Students will be encouraged to ask questions and talk to each other as long as they stay on topic.  Overall, I love to keep things light and relaxing.  Even though we are learning technical skills, I love to make it personal for each learner and encourage their insights and questions.
