In this class, we'll learn about the color wheel and how colors are mixed together to make more nuanced colors. We'll also learn some keywords like hue, tone, and saturation before moving on to talking about complementary colors, color temperature, and color families. For complementary colors, we will pick a set of two complementary colors and draw simple designs with them like stars and hearts. For color temperature, we will draw the same tree twice and then color one with cool colors and one with warm colors. Finally, for color families, we'll draw whatever we like using a color family chosen from the color wheel. All this is so that the students stay engaged, have fun while learning, and understand why it's important to understand color theory. My teaching style is relaxed--at this age, I think it's most important to encourage students' creativity and give them the tools to express themselves.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of colors' relationship to one another, and how to use them in drawings.
Other Details
Supply List
Students will need at least one piece of paper and a set of colored pencils, at minimum, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, gray, and black. Markers are also okay, but will make it harder to blend colors, so colored pencils are highly recommended.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I'm Lainey, a professional art teacher with a Bachelor of Arts in English with a Writing Emphasis from the University of Nevada, Reno. While I studied there, I worked for over a year as a peer tutor at the UNR Writing and Speaking Center, where I discovered my passion for teaching. Seeing learners there gain an understanding of the tools at their disposal, and become more confident as a result, led me to continue teaching after I graduated. I currently teach art classes at Arts for All Nevada, which is a local nonprofit focused on providing art classes for every age. As a result, I have a variety of experience in teaching children and teens in a range of disciplines, including drawing, painting, comics, writing, and general creative skills.
On Outschool, I teach classes on comics, drawing, painting and writing skills for a range of age groups and needs. My teaching philosophy is all about encouraging students' creativity while giving them the tools to express themselves as effectively as possible. I am also more than willing to provide writing and art tutoring services--please reach out if this is something you're interested in!
On top of teaching, I also make my own comics, including a weekly YA webcomic and various shorter comics. I'm passionate about comics as a really special and versatile storytelling medium in which words and pictures come together to communicate in a way that neither words nor images could accomplish alone. I hope to share that passion with students in my comics classes. In my drawing-only and writing-only classes, I aim to expand the skill sets of students so that they're better able to express their own creativity.
In my free time, I enjoy snuggling with my cat and playing Dungeons and Dragons, and reading lots and lots of indie comics.
