Class Experience

Let's have fun painting and learning about the elements of art! Learners will consider contemporary and historic examples in painting. Then, through demonstration, they will learn about painting technique. After a discussion and demonstration, students will brainstorm and research ideas for their painting. Concepts of pattern, rhythm, and movement will be emphasized. Ms. Amy will take you though some step by step painting, color mixing, application and compositional demos. Learners will have most of the class to create an inspired work of their own.

Learning Goals

Students will improve on their understanding of painting, painting technique and representing and communicating ideas verbally and visually.
