Beginner - Intermediate Level
Welcome to our weekly watercolor class for scientists, historians and artists alike, where we will learn how to draw and how to use different watercolor painting techniques and learn about a variety of things throughout the year. This watercolor class is perfect for beginning artists and specializes using step by step drawing and painting demonstrations to help blossoming artists perfect their skills. All artists are welcome to participate in this watercolor class, no matter their skill level. This watercolor class is perfect for both neuro divergent learners and homeschool families because it combines a variety of general subject matter including mathematics, science and sometimes history while using an adaptable teaching style. Each day your student will be encouraged to ask questions and will have the opportunity to display their watercolor painting at the end of each session. The first half of class will begin with good news and an ice breaker. This will allow all of us to get a better chance to get to know your student and their friends. Then, we will then watch an educational YouTube video about the topic we are focusing on for that week. Next, we will assess what we have learned by playing a fun and interactive trivia game. Then, after game time, we will draw and paint with watercolor under the guidance of a certified art educator. Each class will focus on one particular subject and a few watercolor techniques. This will allow everyone the opportunity to add their own personal flairs to their watercolor paintings and practice the new skill set not only under the guidance of an art teacher but also at home. Doing so will allow each student to build their confidence outside of class and create a sense of independence. **THE ART TOPICS WE WILL COVER FOR THIS YEAR ARE LISTED BELOW & WILL ROTATE ANNUALLY AT THE END OF EACH YEAR*** --JANUARY-- 1/1/24-1/6/24 How to Paint the Amazing Arctic Wolf Using Watercolor 1/7/24-1/13/24 How to Paint Blue Whales Using Watercolor 1/14/23-1/20/24 How to Paint Classy Cardinals Using Watercolor 1/21/23-1/27/24 How to Paint Needle Headed Narwhals Using Watercolor 1/28/23-1/31/24 How to Paint Secretive Snow Leopards Using Watercolor **THE LAST LESSON FOR THIS MONTH WILL EXTEND INTO 2/3/24** --FEBRUARY-- 2/4/24-2/10/24 How to Paint the Adorable Arctic Hares Using Watercolor 2/11/24-2/17/24 How to Paint Lovely Love Birds Using Watercolor 2/18/24-2/24/24 How to Paint Stupendous Sea Otters Using Watercolor 2/25/24-2/29/24 How to Paint Swooning Swans Using Watercolor **THE LAST LESSON FOR THIS MONTH WILL CONTINUE INTO 3/2/24** --MARCH-- 3/3/24-3/9/24 How to Paint Babbling Baby Birds Watercolor 3/10/24-3/16/24 How to Saint Patrick’s Day Snakes Using Watercolor 3/17/24-3/23/24 How to Paint Lucky Leprechauns Using Watercolor 3/24/24-3/30/24 How to Paint Queenly Queen Bees Using Watercolor **NO CLASS ON THE 3/17/24 ** --APRIL-- 4/1/24-4/6/24 How to Paint Chirping Chicks Using Watercolor 4/7/24-4/13/24 How to Paint Lovely Little Lambs Using Watercolor 4/14/24-4/20/24 How to Paint Bashful Easter Bunnies Using Watercolor 4/21/24-4/27/24 How to Paint Ridiculous Racoons Using Watercolor --MAY-- 4/28/24-5/4/24 How to Paint Momma Cheetahs for Mother’s Day Using Watercolor 5/5/24-5/11/24 How to Paint Momma Elephants for Mother’s Day Using Watercolor 5/12/24-5/18/24 How to Paint Momma Giraffes for Mother’s Day Using Watercolor 5/19/24-5/25/24 How to Paint Momma Lions for Mother’s Day Using Watercolor 5/26/24-5/31/24 How to Paint Momma Orcas for Mother’s Day Using Watercolor **THE LAST LESSON FOR THIS MONTH WILL EXTEND INTO 6/1/24** -- JUNE-- 6/4/24-6/10/24 How to Paint Daddy Flamingos for Father’s Day Using Watercolor 6/11/24-6/17/24 How to Paint Daddy Marmoset for Father’s Day Using Watercolor 6/18/24-6/24/24 How to Paint Daddy Plovers For Father’s Day Using Watercolor 6/25/24-6/30/24 How to Paint Daddy Seahorses for Father’s Day Using Watercolor **THE LAST LESSON FOR THIS MONTH WILL EXTEND INTO 7/1/23** --JULY-- 7/2/24-7/8/24 How to Paint Dainty Dolphins Using Watercolor 7/9/24-7/15/24 How to Paint Jeweled Jellyfish Using Watercolor 7/16/24-7/22/24 How to Paint Magical Manta Rays Using Watercolor 7/23/24-7/29/24 How to Paint Stunning Sea Turtles Using Watercolor 7/30/24-7/31/24 How to Paint Shifty Sharks Using Watercolor **THE LAST LESSON FOR THIS MONTH WILL EXTEND INTO 8/5/24** --AUGUST-- 8/6/24-8/12/24 How to Paint Pretty Pink Pigs Using Watercolor 8/13/24-8/19/24 How to Paint Cute Corgis Using Watercolor 8/20/24-8/26/24 How to Paint Coy Cows Using Watercolor 8/27/24-8/31/24 How to Paint Honorable Horses Using Watercolor **THE LAST LESSON FOR THIS MONTH WILL EXTEND INTO 9/2/24** --SEPTEMBER-- 9/3/24-9/9/24 How to Paint Bitty Baby Bearded Dragons Using Watercolor 9/10/24-9/16/24 How to Paint Cute Kawaii Camels Using Watercolor 9/17/24-9/23/24 How to Paint Rattling Rattlesnakes Using Watercolor 9/24/24-9/28/24 How to Paint Scuttling Scorpions Using Watercolor **THE LAST LESSON FOR THIS MONTH WILL EXTEND INTO 9/2/24** --OCTOBER-- 9/29/24-10/5/24 How to Paint Haunted Shipwrecks Using Watercolor 10/6/24-10/12/24 How to Paint Cute Cats for Halloween Watercolor 10/13/24-10/19/24 How to Paint Halloween Bats Using Watercolor 10/20/24-10/26/24 How to Paint Ocean Monsters Using Watercolor 10/27/23-10/31/24 How to Paint Troublesome Toads for Halloween Using Watercolor **THE LAST LESSON FOR THIS MONTH WILL EXTEND INTO 11/2/24** --NOVEMBER-- 11/3/24-11/9/24 How to Paint Hooting Horned Owls Using Watercolor 11/10/24-11/16/24 How to Paint Cute Queenly Quails Watercolor 11/17/24-11/23/24 How to Paint Thankful Thanksgiving Turkeys Using Watercolor 11/24/24-11/30/24 How to Paint Happy Fall Pumpkins Using Watercolor ****THERE WILL BE NO CLASS ON 11/27/24 OR 11/28/24**** --DECEMBER-- 12/1/24-12/7/24 How to Paint Festive Penguins Using Watercolor 12/8/24-12/14/24 How to Paint Frosty the Snowman Using Watercolor 12/15/24-12/21/24 How to Paint Cute Christmas Caribou Using Watercolor 12/22/24-12/28/24 How to Paint Cute Christmas Gnomes Using Watercolor ****THERE WILL BE NO CLASS ON 12/24/24 OR 12/25/24****
