Students will learn to identify basic shapes and features of selected topics (ie characters, animals, toys, etc).  Students will learn techniques for recreating those themes on paper through guided instruction.  Students will learn introductory background information about the featured topic, and will practice observation skills as we examine our reference page for their main features and shapes.  Students will practice following directions, asking questions, and presentation skills.  

I'm so excited to share my love of creating and drawing with you!  I've been teaching STEAM and art classes through fun, engaging topics like these to preschool through middle school for 8 years through an independent STEAM education company, as well as at a local arts facility.  I'm really looking forward to connecting with new students here on Outschool.  Not only will we be sharing our excitement about our favorite things and learning to draw them together--but we'll sneak in some colors, shapes, comparing and contrasting, observation, art skills and more--all things that elementary artists love to learn and practice!
