Classes in September will focus on drawing, sketching, and creating a 3D form with line and value. We will be drawing animals, people, objects, buildings, nature, and much more. Build a strong foundation of observational drawing skills and drawing techniques by learning from famous artists and their methods. 

Zoom art classes allow teens to stay creative, learn new skills, and interact with other kids who love art. Students will log in to watch a  tutorial run by instructor Leela Trumbo, ask questions, chat with other students, and show off their work.

About Zoom

The classroom code and password will be sent to you each day 30mins prior to class. When you log in you will be able to see what supplies will be needed for that day. I recommend logging in 5-10mins prior to give yourself time to gather supplies for the day.

You do not need a zoom account to attend a meeting. Students with cameras will be able to share their work with other artists in class and are highly recommended to do so. Sharing our work is the best part about creating together and helps us stay connected. Students are encouraged to ask questions and chat during the lesson.

BASIC SUPPLIES

Leela would like the supplies for her classes to be as approachable as possible. If your teen doesn’t already have these supplies, she has provided recommendations that link to Amazon.

Paper

  • A sketchbook. Ask your teen what size works best for them. Leela recommends this sketchbook or this one

    or

  • loose-leaf paper in a folder 

Thick Printer paper (Leela recommends this paper)

A folder to organize drawings by theme, date or medium, such as this one.

Pencils 

Any pencil will do but Leela recommends this  Turquoise Sketching Set.

Eraser

A bad eraser can ruin a drawing so here are some good ones: here and here. Leela is suggesting two options in case one is sold out or the shipping will take too long. 

Pens

Leela recommends these pens and these.

Coloring 

Color Pencils & Markers, Leela believes that most brandsl are fine. If you are unsure what to get, we recommend these color pencils and these markers.
