FLEX：節日南瓜圖畫－聖誕節到情人節！

Each week, students will be guided to draw a new holiday drawing. Each Monday, I will upload a recording to the classroom. In the recording, I will give step-by-step instructions on how to create the weekly drawings. During each recording, I have two screens visible so that students can see me drawing, as well as speaking. This will allow learners to follow along with my instructions. I will break each step down, so artists of all levels are welcome! Students will have the ability to pause each recording, as they need.   On Wednesdays, I will post a short optional activity, which will give students more opportunities to interact, if they'd like to.

Students can replicate my drawing or add their own unique elements. I will also discuss ideas for the background. After completing their drawing, students can color in their drawing with the medium of their choice, such as crayons, markers, or colored pencils.

Week 1
We will draw Christmas Squishmallows, including Santa, an elf, and a gingerbread girl!  On Wednesday, I will ask anyone who would like to share pictures, videos or a comment mentioning their Squishmallows.

Week 2
We will draw New Year's Eve Squishmallows!  While in all of the other weeks our drawings will be based on real Squishmallows, this week we'll draw real squishmallows and add our own New Year's twists.  We'll draw a koala and an axolotl with firework designs and a puppy with a 2023 hat. On Wednesday, I'll post some New Year's trivia questions.

Week 3
We will draw Winter Squishmallows, including a fawn, penguin and polar bear, who are all dressed for winter!  On Wednesday, I'll post a winter scavenger hunt activity. 

Week 4
We will draw Valentine's Day Squishmallows, including a cat and dog with hearts and heart glasses and a chocolate covered strawberry. Your learner has the option into turning the drawings into Valentine's cards.  On Wednesday, I will post a Squishmallow poem activity.

How does a “Flexible Schedule” course work?
There are no live sessions. A new recording is uploaded to the classroom each week, which is great if your learner prefers independent pacing. Discussions with the teacher take place via the classroom message board or private message.  I reply to all messages and posts, so if you don't see a response from me within 24 hours, please don't hesitate to reach out!
