While no homework is assigned for this class, practice of the skills learned in class is certainly encouraged as it is through practice that we strengthen our skills and become better artists.

  1 file available upon enrollment- 2 pieces of watercolor (140 lb.) or “mixed media” paper (size 8.5 x11”) (these papers are heavy and take water well) One piece is for sketching and learning painting techniques. The other is for the project of the day. 
- one set of watercolors (any brand will work great)
-one freshly sharpened pencil
-an eraser
-a paper towel
-a cup of water
-a ruler 
-a fine-point black Sharpie to outline dry watercolor art

While there is no formal assessment, students are encouraged to take an active role in class conversation, take creative risks, and support one another in our online art classroom.

1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
