In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
This is not a course for written grades, but I do give feedback when asked by the students in class. I stay positive while also offering constructive advice on how they could take their project to the next level. In every lesson, I teach and encourage every artist to make the art their very own. So I encourage them to add some extras, draw and paint in their own style, and let them know their artwork does not have to look like mine! My feedback is only ever positive and encouraging! Students will leave my class feeling empowered, encouraged and I am sure they will be eager to watercolor paint more! Learners will interact with each other and the teacher through the classroom page via chat messaging, discussions about the lesson, posting a photo of their artwork, answering the key question for the lesson that week and student collaborative artboard. I will provide encouragement and positive feedback on their artwork and guide the students in classroom discussion topics. The artwork deadlines will be the following week- the day before the next lesson is uploaded to the classroom wall.
No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
