Class Experience

Yes, you can create this work of art with any colors you want!  Make this work of art reflect your personal taste in color.  The painting could take 2+ hours depending on how much time you would like to spend creating layers of vibrant color. To create the texture of the owl, be sure to have plenty of white paint. (see materials list).
Students will have a chance to create in-class with the instructor, who will demonstrate each step, answer questions, and offer feedback. We will utilize the class web page were there will be additional resources, a place to post questions between classes, and upload images of your work to share with the rest of class. 

Course Outline:
Part 1
Students will set-up their creative space, make color choices draw owl outline and paint the base layer.

Part 2
Students will spend time enriching the painting with a 2nd or even a 3rd layer of color.  Instructor will demonstrate alternatives to the composition by student request.

Learning Goals

At the end of the course, students will have gained the following knowledge:
Planning a composition by making color choices and drawing before painting
That they can create a beautiful painting, proudly share their work and discuss their creative process.
