Learn just a few steps that can be done in any order to a drum beat or to the song Paloma, Paloma.

When you dance to the beat of a drum or to the song Paloma, Paloma you can use your shaker to keep beat and the headpiece as a prop. Learn how to make these easy versions of both the shaker and the headpiece. You will also learn some pencil techniques and shading which are elements of art.

Once you are done drawing your bear face, continue to practicing drawing some more and add details to it.

Aloha! Let's take a break from sitting. Let's travel virtually to Hawai'i and learn a little about the culture and dance.

There's something for everyone!
Keep on drawing to refine your art skills and techniques. This time we will be reviewing the basic animal face drawings that we have done before.
Just because you drew it once doesn't mean you don't have to do it again, on the contrary keep on practicing, editing and modifying your drawings.
Also, don't forget to add details to your drawing. In the up coming videos we will learn to add details to our compositions.
I will also be introducing Elements of Art/Design , focusing on the seven elements that all artists use in their compositions.
In addition to this we will focus on One/two/three Point Perspective Drawings in the weeks to follow.
In this module you can learn how to do a short dance from Denmark, Brazil and Korea. Learn patterns and practice repetitions, 8 counts, and how to dance with a fan. A fun way to use up some energy and learn a little about a different culture.
We have focused on two elements: Lines and Shapes. It is evident that a simple drawing of a palm tree is only created with lines.
We have also used lines and shapes to create our droid drawings.
As you know, you were commissioned to create/design/draw your very unique droid for Star Wars theme. In addition to drawing, think of a name for your droid and what their function will be. As you draw your droid, make a story and tell it as if you were going to sell your droid product to the world.
