Let's Paint Fireworks!
Class experience
No prior drawing experience needed because I'll be demonstrating by painting with the children, leading each child step-by-step through this fun acrylic firework painting! They will still have options throughout the lesson to make their painting uniquely their own! We'll have a little chat about fireworks as we all introduce ourselves and get settled in with our supplies at the beginning of class. Then I'll show them some of my firework paintings and explain that I'll be walking them...
Students will learn about the differences in types of acrylic brushes, how to create a night sky and silhouetted images, how to choose colors that will show up in a night scene and how to create 3 different stages of a firework. Students will also learn how to use a special color mixing technique in their sky and will learn the difference in foreground and background areas of a painting.
Homework Offered
We won't have a homework assignment but if your child is not finished painting by the end of our time together, that would be something easily finished even after our class ends. We will have covered all the major steps, but a student may need a little more time after class to finish painting. It's also possible that your child will want to continue creating more firework paintings independently after this class.Assessments Offered
There will be no formal assessment; however, we will take the time to hold up our paintings several times during and at the end of class to celebrate and encourage each other's progress and results. I'll watch for individual needs for additional instructions and painting tips.Grades Offered
1 file available upon enrollmentONE 8"x10" White ACRYLIC PAINT SURFACE (See Several Options Below): Stretched Canvas, Canvas Panel/Board, or Acrylic Canvas Paper (What are the differences? . . . Stretched Canvas has primed (coated white) canvas stretched over a wooden frame & stapled to the wood. Canvas Panel/Board feels more solid like the canvas is mounted/glued to a stiff cardboard. Acrylic Canvas Paper is thick, coated paper that is flexible but won't warp and tear as easily as other papers and comes in a pad of multiple sheets.) ACRYLIC PAINTS: (not tempera, not watercolor, not oil) I suggest as least 1 ounce of several different colors including Blue, Red, Yellow, White & Black plus also Green, Orange, Purple & Brown although your child may not choose to use all of the colors. (Thicker acrylic paint in tubes are the best consistency for our painting techniques. If possible, try to avoid using the thinner acrylics in plastic bottles that sound watery when shaken.) PAPER PLATE to use as a paint palette. (Optional to use a plastic paint palette instead or even a disposable pie tin) ACRYLIC PAINT BRUSHES in a variety of sizes. Include a couple of medium size ROUGH Flat Brushes (looks like a square on the tip but bristles are rough and a little prickly to the touch. Also include a couple of very small SMOOTH Acrylic Brushes (1 very small Round brush like a pencil tip shape and 1 slender Flat Square Shape) Please avoid brushes that are flimsy and bend when put under a stream of water. (Those are watercolor brushes instead of acrylic brushes.) WATER in a metal can, plastic cup or glass jar. PAPER TOWELS Please also see the attached photo that includes both types of acrylic brushes.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
