Would you rather paint a picture or play a game? In this class, you can do both. You will learn a little about painting an ocean-themed acrylic painting while we socialize. Each learner should choose their own paint colors. While there will be a demonstration, creativity is encouraged. Get your reactions and questions ready in case a game of Would You Rather breaks out. Topics will include what makes drawing, using lines to create shape and texture, blending paints, and mixing paints to create other colors. The class will be structured in the following format: Greetings Demonstration Socialization while painting Art Gallery presentation The class will be structured as a step-by-step demonstration with socialization encouraged throughout each class. I will teach by utilizing a step-by-step demonstration while encouraging campers/learners to add their own details to their paintings. My teaching style is informal and relaxed. I will encourage the campers/students to be creative throughout the camp/class. The campers/learners will be encouraged to interact with each other as well as with me throughout each session. Questions about what the campers like/dislike will be asked to begin the socialization conversations between members of the camp/class. Campers/students will be encouraged to think of questions they would like to find out about the other members of the camp as well. There is no previous knowledge needed for this camp. Day 1: Flamingo Day 2: Whale Day 3: Shark Day 4: Fish Day 5: Turtle *** I do not cancel classes due to low enrollment.
