Artists will meet each day to compose a fun and colorful piece of art. We will use acrylic paints, brushes, and canvas (or acrylic paper) to create each piece. After quick hellos and introductions, we will get right to work. I will guide students throughout the class and they will be able to see my artwork as a reference. Students are encouraged to ask questions to further their understanding of acrylic paints. This is a step-by-step painting class. Some students may move on pace and some students may be a step or two behind. The teacher will repeat directions as she knows painters can create at different speeds. Parents- Please make sure artists are wearing clothing that can possibly get some paint on it. I send out a daily message reiterating the supplies and any alterations if needed. I strongly urge you to sign up for classroom alerts to find out any of the latest updates to your classes (posted in the classroom). Looking forward to our class. Thank you! Tuesday Section Day 1- Beach Scene- acrylic paints Day 2- Desert Scene- acrylic paints Day 3- Mountain Scene- acrylic paints Day 4- City Scene- acrylic paints Day 5- Rainbow Forest Scene- acrylic paints Each day's plan is as follows but not limited to: For each class, we will start with a brief hello and introductions for anyone new. We will check our supplies and review our painting subject. Then, we will get our paints mixed before we begin. We will begin with the gradient, move to sky details, and add in the landscape scenery. Throughout the class, I will have artists share their work with me to see their progress and ask questions as they arise. The teacher will go over different facts about painting throughout each class- brush sizes, mixing paints, primary colors, color wheel, history facts.
Learning Goals
My goal is for artists to create beautiful and brilliant compositions using acrylic media and brush techniques; to inspire them to try more on their own; and, for them to return to the studio for something new the following week!

I have 10+ years of experience with drawing and painting. I have taught a wide range of ages from elementary to college classes. My art has been displayed in local art galleries and shows. I specialize in acrylic paintings and drawing with pencil and charcoal. I believe that art is very important in children's lives. It improves their art skills, imagination, and also helps to improve their academics. I hope that you will join me! Reviews
