Welcome to How To Draw BUILDINGS for KIDS!!
This course is designed to take young and new learners through some of the basics of drawing all while helping them learn to copy, and then create, cool looking buildings of all sorts!! Fair warning though, this is the last course in the series for KIDS and is the most difficult one.
This course can stand on its own, but it is HIGHLY recommended that new learners study How To Draw BASICS for Kids as a prerequisite! You can find it listed in my courses on Udemy. If needed, please feel free to PM the instructor for links.
You'll note that the instructors are a parent/child team, so this course is definitely designed for kids in mind - that includes tempo, material, and language. At over 2 1/2 hours, this course is perfect for new artists of all ages!!! And of course, the banter with this father/daughter team helps to bring the student along in the process - feeling like one of the family.
So join us as we bring these new learners into a new level of enjoyment in their drawing passion.
This course is primarily designed for learners from 7-12, but may be enjoyed by all who are interested.
I notice that many of the reviews are from young students... and they are accidentally hitting an unintended review. Parents, please take a look at the review rating when you can and ensure it matches your intention.
