Design Your Own Planet Adventure! 🌌🪐 Hello, Outschool Artists! Get ready for an exciting journey into the world of watercolor painting and outer space fun. Join me in designing your very own planet! What to Expect: 🚀 Introduction to Alien Landscapes: Explore diverse planetary terrains, from erupting volcanos to frozen oceans. 🪐 Step-by-Step Martian Landscape: Follow along as we create a martian landscape, discussing foreground, middle ground, and background. 🎨 Creative Expression: Add your imaginative touch with 3-D craters, volcanos, galaxies, planets, and comets. 🎨 Colorful Techniques: Define your landscape with crayons or oil pastels, exploring warm and cool colors. Incorporate stars with a white crayon or oil pastel. 💦 Watercolor Painting: Experiment with a variety of watercolor techniques like wax-resist, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, color blending, and lift-off (blotting). 🌌 Art Terminology: Discuss essential terms like form, sphere, cone, variety, movement, texture, and contrast. Class Highlights: 🎨 Small Class Size: Limited to 6 learners for personalized attention. 🤔 Questions Encouraged: Ask anything during the class. 🌈 Unique Artworks: Every drawing is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. 🌟 Show and Share: Proudly showcase your beautiful martian landscapes with the class. After-Class Exploration: 🎨 Continued Creativity: Some learners may choose to add more details to their paintings after class. 🚀 Extended Session: If the section is full or nearly full, the class may run an extra 5 minutes to allow everyone a chance to share their artworks. 🚀 I also have a 'drawing only' version of this class.
