Do we have to come every week?

No. Only come to the classes that interest you (see schedule above). It is helpful to come to all the sessions of a particular series (ie. Comic Book Month), but not at all necessary.

What if my student can't be at class, but really wants to do that week's lesson?

This year we'll be doing the Draw Club sessions on Zoom as well as in person. We're also putting all of our lessons online for the week following the class. If you want to work on that lesson, but can't attend in person, we'll send you a code to join by Zoom or access the session when we receive your payment.

What if everything shuts down again? Will there be Draw Club?

Things like this are bound to happen. If we experience shutdowns due to virus concerns again, Draw Club will continue online at its regularly scheduled time. We've been building a studio that will allow us to record Draw Club sessions and share them with you in real time and as archived recordings. We'll make online payment options easy and give you online access to the live session and recorded lesson for a whole week.

Do we have to share our work?

It will be encouraged but never required. Everyone's work is their own and we don't want anyone feeling uncomfortable. That said, it is our experience that with a little nudging, most kids love to have others see their work and get positive feedback.

What if my kid is kind of a loner?

Many are. Drawing is often a solitary activity anyway. You arent' forced to work with, talk to and share with others, but again, after a little time in Draw Club we've found that the community element to drawing appeals to most students.

My student was in Draw Club last year...is this year going to be the same thing?

Yes...and no. We will have the same lesson disciplines, but the exercises change up and your student will be working on developing skills in that area even further. We have had kids in Draw Club 6 years straight and their improvement over that time is incredible.

Are there any scholarships for Draw Club?

Currently, no. But hopefully soon. There are learning partnerships that can help pay for classes (ask us about those if your child is home schooled or part of a virtual learning partnership).

I am not sure what magic spell you did last week, but Will proceeded to draw ten more drawings! On Saturday he did more, and Sunday...his brothers followed in the fun and they all were drawing!

Dear Mr Wade, I had too much fun with you this year!

I hope next year is as great or greater than this year! Manga was one of my favorite drawing styles we learned.

Draw Club: Learning to Communicate Ideas Visually

One of the greatest inventions of all time is the pencil. Think of how many amazing buildings, organizations, products, events, pieces of art, expressions of love, games and movies started with someone putting those ideas down on paper with a pencil. Southwest airlines started with a triangle on the back of a napkin!

Draw Club isn't about making your child Michelangelo, it's about giving them the power to pull ideas out of their head, give those ideas meaning others can grasp, and building confidence to share those ideas with others. The concepts that will shape the future will come from those who can combine ideas and express them visually so others can understand.

And if a child just so happens to have an unreal talent for the artistic side of drawing, well, Draw Club can develop that, too!

Draw Club is a weekly online drawing class where we explore all kinds of drawing styles and subjects together.

There are FIVE different Draw Club offerings for varying ages and skill levels...Scroll down to find yours!

But first, a word from Mr Wade:

WHERE THE WORLD DRAWS TOGETHER!
