Class Experience

Beginner - Intermediate Level
**PLEASE NOTE** This is a SELF-PACED class and is PRE-RECORDED. THIS MEANS STUDENTS WILL WATCH THE PRE-RECORDED VIDEO. There are no live meetings. All interactions between students and the teacher will happen on the class page.
This class will be presented via pre-recorded demonstration videos. Students will upload images of their assignments for the teacher to see and comment on. This is particularly important if a final grade is required for homeschool or charter school credit.
Why Self-Paced?
*MY Self-Paced classes ALWAYS cost less than the live versions of the same class!
*Self-Paced classes are an excellent choice for families with busy schedules. 
*Content is exactly the same as live classes, at a lower fee.
*Students can work at an independent pace. 
*Self-Paced classes are fantastic for international students whose time zone doesn't match the teacher's (US Mountain Time),
*Self-Paced classes are a great alternative for students who are uncomfortable with live video chat.

Our Self-Paced format will be as follows: 
Content: Video demonstration of the process will be posted. Videos will vary in length depending on the type of art being presented. Some may be as short as 10 or 15 minutes while others could be ½ hour or more. Student work is expected to take anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour, depending upon the student’s preferred pace. 

Drawing Assignments: Students spend time completing their artwork and submit it via the classroom.

Submit Assignment: Students are required to post photos of their completed artwork in the classroom on the designated post. Keep in mind, uploading artwork for the teacher to see is important for assessment and feedback.

This is a great class for students to develop multimedia skills. 

Detailed information regarding the content of each session can be found in the syllabus.

Once all assignments have been submitted, parents may request a letter or number grade if needed. Students may also receive a certificate of completion after parent has completed a class evaluation.

Learning Goals

Students will learn wet-on-wet painting technique

Syllabus

2 Lessons
over 2 Weeks
Lesson 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. 
18 mins of video lessons
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.

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.
