Assessments Offered
Creativity is a very personalized process, I encourage my students to take "Progress photos" so that when done, they can look back at how they transformed a black canvas into a painting. These photos are a great visual documentation of their learning. In a year or 5 years, they can look back at their photos and realize how far their skills have come. Thus boosting their morale/ self-esteem to do more creative things.Grades Offered
Some supplies may vary from project to project and for the student's goals. The project supply list will be given prior to the start of the project. Below is generally what is recommended Purchase from Amazon, Micheals, art store, etc. Acrylic Paint: WHITE, BLUE, YELLOW, RED, GREEN, BLACK, ORANGE, PURPLE Brushes - 3 brushes Surface - canvas Wear old clothes or an apron Paper plate for mixing Water cup Paper towel or rag table cloth or newspaper to protect the tabletop camera to take progress photos good attitude ______________________________________ SUPPLY DETAILS Surface to paint on Options: Recommended Sizes - 8x10 in, 9x12in, 11x14in. given the timeframe of the class please don't use a larger canvas unless you plan on finishing after the class Stretched Canvas or Canvas Panel (Optional - heavy Watercolor paper & watercolors) Brushes: 3 brushes Large flat brush Medium flat brush Small Pointy Brush *synthetic acrylic brushes are the best and most affordable **the Artist loft brand brushes are GREAT to purchase Micheals has a 12 pack for $5 - great value Acrylic paint: Please try to get "student grade paint" - Liquitex basics ($5-10/color) is what I recommend You will use more white than any other color, so I recommend buying an extra white Traceables: Some of the painting options will have a traceable.
