Description

Class Experience

I will be teaching high school level art, ideal for portfolio building and high school students.

I always mute my classes but I encourage learners to unmute themselves and ask questions at any point. 

Learners who take this as an ongoing class will develop as artists over time and learn a variety of drawing and painting skills 

I will teach a variety of acrylic and watercolour painting techniques. I will teach drawing skills such as cartooning, rendering, perspective, shading, lighting,...

Learners will learn different drawing, watercolour painting and acrylic painting techniques. 
Learners should emerge from this class as more skilled and confident artists

I will expect each learner to do at least one hour of drawing or painting each week. 

I will assign homework at the end of each class and the learner can decide if they want to do it quickly or take time to do it and turn it into a potential portfolio piece.

Upon enrolling we can discuss specific art supplies needed. This is a general list 

Pencils
Eraser
Ruler
Fine tipped black felt pens
A sketchbook!
Pencil Crayons (coloured pencils)
Acrylic paints
Canvas
Smooth Cardboard (like the inside fo a cereal box)
Watercolour paints
Watercolour paper
Blowdryer
Painters or Masking tape
Old gift or rewards card
A variety of paintbrushes including at least one tiny, round brush for detail work

I will provide personalized, written feedback in the learner area if learners send me their homework. If the learners do not send me their homework I can not provide helpful feedback. 
I do not like to grade art, but I am happy to provide one if the student requests it.

1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
