Beginner - Intermediate Level
Through the guided drawing process, students will learn how to use simple lines and shapes to create a beautiful collage with black and white patterns. My teaching style involves breaking the process down into smaller, easy-to-follow steps. I pace the class according to the needs of the students; if needed, I give fast finishers a break, allowing students who need more time to complete their work, the time to do so, and even then, finishing before class ends is NOT the objective. The examples in the picture are only suggestive; students may also request a particular favorite if time allows. My classes are intended to be fun, informative, and a safe place to take artistic risks and make mistakes--that is experimentation, which artists do all the time! At the end of class, students will be invited to share their creations no matter what their progress is. More detailed information regarding this class can be found in the syllabus.

Syllabus
2 Lessons
over 2 WeeksLesson 1:
Painting the Orbs
Students will be guided through the process of painting wet-on-wet technique to paint several circles in vibrant, harmonious colors. We will discuss what harmonious means and how to achieve brilliant and interesting watercolor images. These papers will need to dry flat in preparation for the next class. 50 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
Finishing the Art
Students will select favorite sections of watercolor pieces and draw circles using either templates, such as different-sized lids, or a compass. We will cut out the circles and arrange and glue them onto a piece of heavy white or colored paper. The teacher will then guide students through a final drawing of directional lines surrounding and connecting the circles. The final piece will be a dramatic interplay of vivid watercolor and high contrast of black and white lines. 50 mins online live lesson

As a licensed art teacher, I have developed techniques for breaking down drawing lessons into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Once we get the basics done, I give my students freedom to complete their project using their own imagination, thereby giving them the opportunity to take what I have taught them to a different, fun and creative level.Reviews
