Make up your missed lesson, in-person or online.

A few final bonus tips.
▸ Just for you.
It’s okay to make bad drawings.
▸ Perfect drawings don’t exist, and the more you draw, the less you care about “mistakes” - quantity leads to quality.
There will be challenges - focus on learning & having fun!
▸ ‘Struggle’ is where all the good growth & learning happens anyways.
Parents, please stay in the parent seating area during class.
▸ Fostering confidence is important to us - please give space for your child & the other students to work independently.
