In this special art and design class students will learn how to create and draw their very own anime Pokemon creature. Give your young Pokemon enthusiast a chance to put their Pokemon skills to the test and create their ultimate Pokemon - just for them! Students will learn how to create a whole new Pokemon that has never existed before. There are over 700 Pokemon out there - but this time YOU are the creator. 

First we will go over a brief introduction on the origins of some Pokemon and how the Pokemon animators came up with them. This will inspire budding young artists and animators to use everyday objects and animals to find ideas for their own Pokemon creature. This class will develop their problem solving skills as well as strengthening their drawing and hand eye coordination. 

The lesson will be a creative yet structured class where step by step instructions are given via slides and live drawing tutorials on how to design your own Pokemon. Cute? Scary? Strong? Wild? You decide! We will learn how to generate ideas for - and draw the head, face, body, arms and legs. Students will also learn how to draw specific details for extra customisation such as horns, wings, patterns, tails and more! Next we will ink and colour own creations. After we have drawn our Pokemon students will get to name their unique Pokemon and create details about its strengths, weaknesses, type and evolution. At the end of class everyone will get a chance to share their drawings with each other as we go through one by one. 

My teaching style is very enthusiastic and I like to encourage my students by praising what they are doing well and sensitively pointing out where they could improve. The best way to learn is through doing and so my lesson will be very interactive and engaging. The students will need a pencil, some plain paper and coloured pens or pencils, including the colour black. No required experience or knowledge is needed for this class. Just a joy and curious attitude about art, Pokemon, design and how to draw! So join me and become a Pokemon creating master in this detailed and fun art class where you will meet like minded fans and get to talk and draw all things Pokemon.
