I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me.  My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative environment where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged.  I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding.  Students who enroll in this class should have an interest in learning to draw proportionate human facial features realistically and proportionate full body human drawings.
