What You GetThis Classroom Video Series series is composed of 44 lessons, each with an approximately half-hour long running time, for a total of about 22 hours of instruction. The complete series teaches at beginning, intermediate and advanced levels as students progress through the lessons. It includes 274 drawing exercises. All 7 of the original Magic Words of Drawing are covered as well as concepts such as maintaining a positive attitude, adding extras to your drawings, and being sure to practice daily for the most rapid improvement. Lesson plans are included showing each drawing that will be taught in the lesson. Each lesson contains on-screen time codes that used to be helpful keys to locate individual exercises when the series was distributed on VHS. These time codes are no longer relevant to the current online format and we plan on removing and/or updating them in the future. Achievement Clubs help motivate students to reach the next level. Because they often involve drawing at a timed speed, the Achievement Clubs help your students draw without hesitation. Reference sheets for the Draw Squad Achievement Scale and designated times are also included in the Teacher's Guide. Along with the Achievement Clubs, Drawing Contests are also powerful motivators. While the Achievement Clubs focus' are on improving a student's drawing speed, the Drawing Contests primary focus' are on a given volume of drawing regardless of the time it takes to complete the task. A Draw Squad Contest Progress Chart is included with the video series, along with the Bruce McIntyre Achievement Scale Progress Club Chart. Of course we can't forget the "YES to Drawing, NO to TV" contract. This is designed to motivate students to become selective content viewers. The idea is to spend less time watching ‘junk’ content and instead use more time drawing! ![]() Order Now! |
