Drawing classes blend technical skill with creativity and exploration to create vibrant, dynamic works of art for learners of all ages. I guide my students on how to break down a subject into simple lines and shapes, and encouraged them to used colour, value, perspective, and movement to add additional complexity to their work. Drawing classes are taught using a wide variety of media, including oil pastels, watercolour paints, coloured pencils, and markers.
The following pieces were created by artists aged 6-10, in both in-person as well as virtual settings.
