1 live meeting
30 mins in-class hours
Homework
1 hour per week. Students can choose to paint a new picture by mixing different colors or trying other design elements discussed in class.
Assessment
Students can choose to share their painting by posting their painting in the classroom. Students can also choose to share their progress at the end of class, even if it is not quite done. I love seeing progress from painters!

Class Experience

In this class, students will learn/review about primary, secondary, and even tertiary colors, as well as discuss some basic painting elements to try in our painting. Students will learn the wet on dry technique, as well as the wet on wet technique. We will then trace our own hands/arms and make our own painting. This is just an introduction class to give students a sample and some inspiration to other techniques they could try. Their paintings may take more time after class to complete, so I would love to see their paintings posted in the classroom if they feel comfortable. I just want to give them a few new ideas to try, and then let them take their time exploring.

Learning Goals

Students will learn basic watercolor skills. 
Students will learn to take something basic and make it fun and unique. 
Students will learn some different techniques to try in their watercolor painting.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I've taught in a traditional classroom, in a creative arts school setting, online, and as a home school Mom as needed with our own unique learners. I believe that arts, music, and books add so much to our days, and want to provide classes that support these areas with your learners too! I love learning new arts, and have even learned to paint and play the piano, recently, as an adult. I have been crocheting and sewing for about 30 years, and hope to share my knowledge with other lifelong learners who want to be brave and try new things! I believe enjoying the process is just as important, if not more, than the end product. I model imperfection and share my thought process in how to improve our experiences. I hope to see you soon!
