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 class is the FLEX version of my Multi-Day Acrylic Nature Set: Create 4 Easy Art Acrylic Paintings! (Ages 7-12) 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 4 acrylic nature-themed paintings! 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. No painting experience is required! 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 class discussions on 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. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CLASS OUTLINE For homework students should plan to spend 1 hour a week working on their painting, using their instruction videos and class discussion. Learner progress will be evaluated through in-progress photos of their work posted to the classroom on Friday. Students will be partnered with an art buddy (another student in class) and will be providing constructive feedback and positive encouragement to their art buddies throughout the week. The teacher will provide individual feedback and guidance for each student in addition to the feedback they receive from their art buddy. Students are encouraged to interact with more than just their art buddies and can provide constructive feedback in the classroom to their classmates throughout the course. Week 1: Mountain Sunset We will be completing a mountain sunset painting and focusing on learning about color blending. Week 2: Dandelion and Fireflies We will paint dandelions and fireflies, and get to do some finger painting! Week 3: Flower Bouquet We will learn how to paint different types of flowers and each learner can choose what type of flowers they would like to put in their jar. Learners choose their own colors! Week 4: Pink Tree A beautiful spring tree painting, learners choose their own colors! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ REFUND POLICY All Flexible Schedule classes have a standard refund policy: "Full refund until the class begins, or within 24 hours of purchase (until class starts), then a pro-rated refund based on the number of meetings." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I also offer private painting parties, perfect for birthday parties!

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 something to paint on to complete this class. A set of paints is nice to have but not required. A set with larger tubes is great if you are doing multiple classes. I use white, black, blue, red, yellow, and green paints to complete my artwork. I will be sending out a message in the classroom with specific colors used for each class with the video for the week. On most class days learners will have the option to choose their own 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, Canvas Board, or Canvas Paper Acrylic Paint Set or Paint Colors in - white, black, blue, red, yellow, and green Brush Set - https://amzn.to/2XOHuim Paper Plate (or something to use as a paint pallet) Cup of Water Paper Towels If you would like or need to purchase new supplies, most supplies can be bought easily from Amazon, your local grocery store, or an art store. Please let me know if you have any questions about supplies, I'm happy to help!
