A description of the Drawing Classes

This is a step by step drawing class. An appropriate picture is chosen based on student skill and interest, and broken down into parts. For a warm-up the students practice drawing the individual parts. Then the teacher will draw the picture step by step, explaining in detail each part, while the students follow along. The finished drawings are colored with water soluble crayons, then brushed with water, turning the crayon into paint. It creates a wonderful mixed media effect. This method is an excellent way to build both confidence and skills. The method itself is not creative, but enables the foundation for creativity. Students leave these lessons with a feeling of pride and confidence, building their identity as an artist. Parents will be impressed with the resulting artwork.

After School Art Classes!!!!

Unbelievably, summer camp has ended! We had an awesome summer full of cool new art projects. Now its time for after school classes....I am excited to have my classes in FOUR schools this year! We are now in Briarlake, Henderson Mill, SHAMROCK MIDDLE!!, and St. Timothy's! The program is finally growing up!
At first we will only offer drawing classes, as I am currently the only working teacher and can only be in one place at a time....However we may be adding a new fresh teacher in the near future......
I will offer a description of the drawing class here so I can save paper and refer interested students to my blog for info....
