Homework
As this is a FLEX course students will work on their paintings throughout the week on their own time. Each week's painting should take about an hour, but students are always welcome to spend more time on their painting if they would like.Class Experience
This is the FLEX version of my ACRYLIC 202 Class! This class is designed to expand on my Acrylic 101 class, but can also be taken independently. This is a flexible schedule class with NO LIVE MEETINGS. I will be using weekly video instructions to walk students through the steps to create 8 acrylic paintings focusing on a different art style each week! Each student will be able to watch the video instructions on their own schedule. Students will be provided videos, instructions, and a homework assignment on MONDAY of the scheduled week. All homework paintings will be due by FRIDAY if students would like constructive feedback from the teacher. Each week we will complete a new piece of art independent of the previous week's painting. I will walk you through all the steps to create your own masterpiece. Acrylic paints, brushes, and a canvas will be needed for this class. Please see the supply list for all the details. Weekly Engagement - 1 video each week explaining that week's painting - Weekly feedback from the class and teacher through the classroom or private message - All videos, and messages will be done through the Outschool classroom ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In this FLEX course, we will be learning about different acrylic painting styles, and the painting techniques needed to create each style. In each class, we will have a different style focus and complete a painting using the techniques discussed in class. I will provide a painting video every MONDAY to demonstrate the techniques and explain each lesson. The students can watch the video and paint along at any time throughout the week. If they would like feedback on their artwork please post it to the classroom. This class is perfect for painters wanting to learn different techniques to improve their art skills and explore different painting styles to create beautiful paintings. Acrylic paints, brushes, and canvas paper will be needed for this class. Please see the supply list for a complete list of supplies.

Learning Goals
My mission for all of my classes is that every learner has the opportunity to be creative. I believe creativity is so important, and I want to give students the chance to express themselves in a safe and comfortable environment. The goal is for each student in this particular class to learn about acrylic techniques and brushes to gain the confidence to create their own amazing artwork at home.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Acrylic paints can be hard to get off of furniture and out of clothing. Please make sure students have a space to work that is ok to get a bit messy. I recommend wearing old clothes that you won't mind if they get a little paint on them. Acrylic does come off of hair and skin with just a little soap and water.
Supply List
Learners will need a couple of supplies for painting. If you already have some supplies feel free to use what you have! You WILL need paints, brushes, and some canvases to complete this class. For this class, I like canvas paper. It's thinner and cheaper than purchasing traditional canvases. I think it's perfect for practicing techniques. If you would like to use a regular canvas for the artwork portion of class feel free, but the canvas paper will work just fine! I recommend a set of paints so you have multiple colors to choose from. A set with larger tubes is great if you are doing multiple classes. Each week I will be sending out a list of paint colors we will be using for that particular class but in general, all classes can be completed with red, yellow, blue, green, black, and white paint. On most class days learners will have the option to choose their colors. A set of brushes is also a great idea to experiment and learn about different brush sizes and shapes! The brush set linked, is my favorite sizes and shapes. You might already have some at home! Canvas Paper, Canvas Board, or Stretched Canvas - https://amzn.to/3bKmDF3 Acrylic Paint Set - https://amzn.to/3nNosU9 Brush Set - https://amzn.to/2XOHuim Paper Plate (or something to use as a paint pallet) Pencil Eraser Cup of Water Paper Towels If you would like or need to purchase new supplies, Amazon links are provided. Most supplies can also be purchased at your local grocery or art store. Please let me know if you have any questions about supplies, I'm happy to help!
