After, we will draw an object using either a picture that I will provide or looking at what I am drawing live, using black and white acrylic paint.

Learning Goals
Students will learn to see and analyze the object to figure out the effect of light creating darks and lights. This will help to create depth in their work. If I color a circle blue it will look flat but if I add different shades and values of blue, it will look like a sphere more like a 3 dimensional object.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a professional artist and have been painting for 20 plus years, enjoying and sharing my knowledge and experience with students. I teach color values using pictures of still life objects which will help students to see and observe the shapes, color values and light.
Art is about creating a piece that comes from your heart. There is no right or wrong. Lines, color harmony, shapes, effect of lights and darks, all creates form and depth in a painting.
The class will begin with short drawing and value exercises in black and white, to build an understanding of value separate from color.Reviews
