Week 1Lesson 1Using Acrylic PaintThis lesson deep dives into using paint in your visual journal. Students are shown seven ways they can incorporate acrylic paint into their visual journal. Guides are also included for students to reference as they create a paint-focused visual journal page.
I can't remember not having art in my life. I was raised by an art teacher, got my bachelor's and master's in art education, taught art-focused summer camps, volunteered in art classrooms, and taught high school art for over 12 years. Now I develop art lessons and curriculums for other teachers or homeschool parents to implement in their art classrooms. I love the flexibility virtual teaching offers me while still allowing me to be involved in education. Please reach out anytime with questions or comments!
Homework Offered

Used hardback book to work in, acrylic paint, paint brushes, water cup, paper towels. Optional additional materials such as magazines, glue, scissors, printed pictures, scrapbook paper, and similar they want to collage with.
Students will control what the subject matter is in their own artwork and I don't show anything that could be upsetting or above a G rating. Students may need access to tools such as scissors.
I will provide everything students need to reference, although access to Pinterest, YouTube, and similar can be helpful to get ideas.
