While creating their masterpieces, students will learn a few basic painting skills and techniques. They will learn about blending colors, creating lines and shapes, using an outline, and different brush techniques. *This class changes with the seasons! For Spring: Class 1: Paint a Spring Rabbit wearing a flower crown, on a light pink background. Class 2: Paint colorful stripes with different levels of thickness, then add a butterfly silhouette . (**Examples shown in class image**) Students are encouraged to ask questions and interact with each other throughout the class. We will take a brief painting break about halfway through each class if needed to stretch and catch up. Students are also encouraged to upload a picture of their completed painting after class to show off their creation! Students do not need to have previous experience painting. I will be guiding them step-by-step with live demonstration and pausing for questions as needed. It is important to encourage your learner to ask questions if they need to, and to remember that art is unique. The best part is seeing how different everyone's painting turns out to be!
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of basic painting techniques, such as color mixing and blending.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parental supervision or guidance is suggested for inexperienced or younger learners. Acrylic paint will wash off of skin and surfaces such as tables, but it will stain clothing. It is suggested that your learner wear clothing that you don't mind getting paint on, and that your learner is in an area that can be wiped down. I suggest putting newspaper or paper towels under the area where your learner will paint in case of spills.
Supply List
Learners will need acrylic paint in the following colors: Spring Rabbit -Light Pink (I use "Rose Pink" by Liquitex) -White (I use "Titanium White" by Liquitex) -Black (I use "Mars Black" by Liquitex) -Medium Pink (I use "Medium Magenta" by Liquitex) -Medium Purple (I use "Brilliant Purple" by Liquitex) -Light Green (I use "Light Olive Green" by Liquitex) Butterfly on Stripes -Light Pink (I use "Rose Pink" by Liquitex) -Medium Pink (I use "Medium Magenta" by Liquitex) -Light Teal (I use "Bright Aqua Green" by Liquitex) -Medium Purple (I use "Brilliant Purple" by Liquitex) -Medium Blue (I use "Cerulean Blue" by Liquitex) -Yellow (I use "Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue" by Liquitex) -White (I use "Titanium White" by Liquitex) -Black (I use "Mars Black" by Liquitex) Learners will need also need: -A canvas or heavy mixed media paper. Any size canvas or paper will be okay. -Two flat paint brushes: one larger, and one smaller. Any brand is okay. -A cup for water to clean your brushes. -A paint palette, or a paper plate to use as a paint palette. Acrylic paint can stain, so don't use a regular plate. -An easel is optional! If you chooses to paint without an easel, make sure to have a flat surface that is protected by paper towels, newspaper, or butcher's paper. You can buy the mini canvases, the paints, and the supplies at the art supply stores (Michael's or Jo-Ann's), or in bulk on Amazon. Please allow time for shipping if you choose to shop online. Paint Brush Tips: Sometimes the brush hairs come out of new brushes when you paint, so I recommend "water painting" a cardboard box or a paper plate. You can wet the brush and swirl it around, tap it, and do brush strokes with the brush to get out any lose bristles before you paint. It is also important to clean your brushes and let them dry properly after painting so that they work properly next time.
