Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(73)
In this class for beginners, we'll apply basic watercolor and acrylic skills to create peaceful landscapes.
Class experience
In this class, we'll explore different watercolor painting techniques to create peaceful landscapes. Students will get to help decide what types of landscapes we'll paint each week. Students will have the opportunity to share their work each day, and address challenges and successes. Creativity is encouraged! Learners are encouraged to make suggestions, but here are some to get you started. Mountains and Valleys Ocean and Sky Deserts and Prairie Forests and Jungles Meadows and Lakes Swamps...
Students will learn basic watercolor and acrylic skills and apply them to landscape paintings.
My passion has always been visual arts. I think that art-making and creating is part of the human experience. Creation comes in many forms, and I believe all are equally important. All students deserve to be treated as human beings capable of learning and growing. Having a growth mindset in the classroom, that is holding students to exceed their own standards, is essential to students feeling successful in the classroom. When I'm not in my studio painting, I am teaching, growing food in my own garden, studying nature and preparing meals. I've been cooking and gardening since I was a little girl, and I tend an organic garden with my husband on our homestead. I have a Master of Fine Art from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a Bachelor of Fine Art from East Carolina University. I have been an arts educator for over 10 years, working with students in schools, community centers, and other programs. I create my work in my studio located in Pittsboro, North Carolina. I’ve exhibited in various local venues in addition to traveling the country to exhibit at art fairs and festivals. You can read more about me and my work on my website at www.LaurendeSerres.com I believe that all students can learn and am happy to accommodate students as needed. Feel free to contact me about student needs so that I your learner has the best possible experience with my class. 1. Listen to the instructor and your classmates 2. Be kind to one another 3. Wait your turn to speak, or raise your hand using the zoom function 4. Be creative! Don't be afraid to explore, but remember to listen and then try out the new techniques you learn 5. Per Outschool safety policy, each learner must enable their camera and check in at least once during class to confirm their identity. If this is not done, the learner will have to be removed from the class session and can be readmitted to class once their identity has been verified. For more info on this safety, policy see: https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/579976-learner-safety-and-privacy-for-parents 6. Please try to arrive on time for the class. If you are more than 15 minutes late, please watch the video of the class after the class has ended to catch up. The class will be locked 20 minutes after the class begins to minimize interruptions in instruction. I'm happy to chat with you if you have any questions about the class video.
