In this exciting ongoing club, students will learn to see the world as a source of endless inspiration as they develop their ability to sketch what they see!  

Each week students will choose topics to draw from prompts provided by the instructor.  They will be encouraged to either draw along with the instructor or choose their own reference image to use.  These prompts will include, drawing your backyard, household objects, your favorite pet, drawing a place you've traveled to, and drawing a place you'd like to visit to name just a few. 

The first four weeks of class will follow the schedule below (updated every four weeks):

Week 1: Theme 1 - Drawing Nature: Students will follow along as we learn to sketch a basic landscape with a focus on trees and foliage 

Week 2: Theme 2 - Drawing your favorite Pet: Students will follow along as they learn to sketch their favorite pet.  An image will be provided however students will be encouraged to use a personal photo of their pets.

Week 3: Theme 3 - Drawing Household Objects: Students will follow along as they learn to sketch an object from their home.  Any object will do.  

Week 4: Theme 4 - Drawing Nature, Pets, or Household Objects - Learner directed.  On the fourth week of each section, learners will select the topic for illustration or suggest something new.  The students will choose to sketch an environment, an animal, or an object of their choosing.  They can follow along as the teacher walks through the key steps in sketching each, or those who feel comfortable and work along at their own pace. 

I have a high-energy teaching style that allows learners to ask questions and receive feedback on their sketches. 

During class, learners will be encouraged to share their progress.  At the end of course, we will do a show-and-tell session where learners provide feedback to each other and discuss what they learned and what they would like to sketch in future classes.

No experience is required.  As an ongoing class students can jump in and join a class at any time, refine their skills, and start to fill up their sketchbooks!
