This is a relaxing and simple acrylic class for young artists to practice painting a series of sunset silhouette landscapes. Learners will explore color mixing, blending, and brush techniques while discovering their artistic flow. I am committed to ensuring learners receive the best possible guidance and support. In line with this, I will provide constructive feedback on their work, and share valuable tips on how they can enhance their skills and implement the necessary changes. We will focus on the creative process so that learners can build confidence in their creative abilities at their own pace. Learners will complete five sunset paintings using just a few colors. Learners can frame their art, decorate their walls with their paintings to uplift their mood, or gift it to loved ones. Young artists will follow along as the teacher demonstrates step-by-step instructions using an easygoing approach. This is a self-paced course and there are no live meetings. Weekly pre-recorded instructional videos will be posted in the classroom. Videos are no longer than 25 minutes. Learners will watch and paint along to a painting per week. Learners will present their final artwork through a short video recording in the classroom. This will give young artists a chance to practice their presentation skills. Young artists will share their finished paintings in the classroom with a personal reflection of what they’ve learned, what was challenging for them, and what can be improved. Learners will be able to watch the recordings on their schedule. They will also be provided with a packet. The teacher will also provide positive feedback and prompt learners to leave constructive feedback. Learners are required to share their paintings in the classroom. This class is designed with beginners in mind. Young artists will learn basic acrylic painting techniques and apply these techniques to create their masterpieces. The benefit of a self-paced class: *Learners from all time zones may enroll. *Learners will learn at their own pace. They can pause, rewind, and replay the videos as many times as needed. * Flexible for families with a busy schedule or those who have a scheduling conflict. * The teacher is always available to troubleshoot or address any questions/ concerns that learners may have.
Learning Goals
Young artists will practice mixing colors and exploring brush strokes. They will be able to finish a painting while discovering their artistic style.
