Pet animals (bunnies, birds, cats and dogs) will be covered the first four weeks- the last two weeks will be fantasy animals- dragons, hippogryphs, and Fluffy!  We will use models, real life animals (but not real hippogryphs) and large drawings to explore line, value and color.  There is an emphasis on developing discipline as an artist and discovering and promoting the student's own personal style.
