Art: Sweet Treat Step by Step Acrylic Painting Self Paced Course!

In this four lesson acrylic painting self paced course learners will develop their sense of imagination and creativity while exploring art projects and have opportunity to express themselves in a visual context.

The art project topics are sweet treats. Learners will paint a cupcake, gum ball machine, ice cream cone and a cake. I will teach each lesson with a video tutorial. Learners can expect from to walk away with a complete project each week after watching the pre-recorded video lesson.  

This is a self paced class, meaning NO LIVE CLASSES, you sign up and then watch the videos as your schedule allows, participate in the classroom discussion, ask any question you want, and share your work as you complete each project.    

The lesson will posted on the classroom page. There will be a step by step video instruction for the project as well as additional information. Students can upload an image or video clip of their art work directly to the classroom. I'll check into class to see finished projects from students (that they have uploaded to class), and give simple feedback. This is of course optional if there is a student that really doesn't feel comfortable doing so, however it is also highly encouraged with this type of participation. I do also give my own engaging words of support, encouragement and praise to each student who shares their art in our classroom.  

Learners can post pictures and/or videos of their work (and their works in progress) on the classroom page at any time so that the teacher can give feedback and encouragement on their pieces. It will be uplifting and helpful to the student and feedback will be fun!

This class will offer art activities to expand the creative experience and awareness of children in visual arts. Students will explore different styles and techniques. The most important aspects of the art projects are discovery, exploration and individual creativity. While learning discovering different styles, it is still up to the learner to decide exactly how their art will turn out. 

While my directions are detailed, and I want students to become familiar with different techniques. The instruction on techniques is incorporated into the step by step lesson on the particular painting and not a separate lesson. 

I also want students to be able to express their own creative voice. I encourage students to add their own unique details to make their artwork truly their own.

The only prior skill required is the ability to follow detailed visual and verbal directions. 

Each lesson will not only include art instruction, but also an opportunity for students to express themselves. 

Here is a breakdown of what learners can expect from each pre-recorded lesson:


Lesson 1: Paint a rainbow cupcake with acrylic paint. 

Lesson 2: Paint a colorful gum ball machine with acrylic paint.
