NEW: Sketching Nature's Serene Sunset


During this 1-class project, students will create a sketch of Nature’s Serene Sunset by thoughtfully placing the Sun, Horizon Line, and Natural Silhouettes—such as trees, birds, rivers, and hills—to achieve Balance, Symmetry, and Depth.  Throughout the creation process, students are introduced to key visual concepts including Foreground, Middle Ground, and Background, helping them understand how to effectively organize space on a two-dimensional surface.

NEW: Sketching Sonic The Hedgehog


This introductory 1-class project teaches students how to draw Sonic the Hedgehog by breaking down complex video game character forms into simple Geometric Shapes such as Circles, Ovals, and Rectangles. Through guided practice, students will strengthen foundational drawing skills including Line Work, Shape Construction, Proportions, and Shading. This project not only builds Technical Precision but also helps students understand how to transform basic forms into expressive, recognizable characters.

NEW: Sketching A 3D-Love Optical Illusion


In this 1-class project, students will create an eye-catching 3D-Optical Illusion that spells out the word “LOVE” using advanced drawing techniques. While working with pencil on a 2D surface, students will practice Contour Drawing, Shading, Highlights, Vanishing Points, and Linear Perspective to simulate realistic depth and dimension.  As a result, they’ll continue to develop their ability to use Value, Contrast, and Texture to bring flat drawings to life—enhancing both Technical Skill and Artistic confidence.
