HOW DRAW CLUB WORKS: Three sessions (per 4-week-theme) are live, step-by-step tutorials. And because students want time to develop their own drawings, the fourth session per month is recorded and can be viewed at their convenience. The recorded session is called Studio Project week. The Studio Project video is posted on YouTube, and outlines an exercise designed to give students freedom to explore, on their own, the techniques they've learned during the previous three weeks. There is also a step-by-step option within the Studio Project video if you want or need extra help applying your skills. The Studio Project video can be played like the live feed for your students.

You will be sent a Zoom invite (new each week) to join the live Draw Club session and JPG files to print for students to follow along on the lesson. Please provide an email address you check regularly during check out so you are sure to receive both the invite and the JPG files.
 
For these sessions, you will need:
-A reliable internet connection.
•A monitor that can display the live Zoom session and the Studio Project video.
•To print the JPG template(s) you receive for the session.
•A pencil and an eraser (and a ruler occasionally).
•A pen (or preferably two) with indelible ink. One fine tip, and if possible, a second with a bit larger tip to fill in more area (which makes things quicker).
•Colored pencils, markers, or crayons...preferably with 2-3 of each color (ie. light green, medium green, dark green). Simple, low cost colors will work fine.
•A mirror (used occasionally). A photo/selfie can work for this.
 
Classes are weekly during the school year:
Thursdays at  8:00-8:55AM or 1:00-1:55PM EST
Fridays at 2::00-2:55PM
