Process Art Class: Tempera Painting! Ages 6-8
Class Experience
PLEASE NOTE if you're considering registering but don't yet have different colors - you only need black paint for the first week! :) INTRODUCTORY NOTE about what to expect from me and my classes: my classes are very process-oriented, moreso than product! I do not offer instruction to create step-by-step artwork; each child's art will be fully unique. To me, emphasizing process - particularly in the younger grades - is paramount to creating a child who wilingly engages in art-making. If...

I'm a teaching artist (BFA in illustration, MAT in art education) and illustrator/bookmaker with 25+ years of experience working with kids of all ages! One of my favorite things about teaching is watching kids explore materials and make discoveries! This class will offer a lot of room for open-ended exploration.
IF YOU REGISTER FOR THIS CLASS you will get a more detailed supply list with materials suggestions emailed to you/posted in the classroom. -Tempera paints in just five colors: black, white, red, blue, yellow (even if you have your own tempera paints in more colors than this, please do not give your learner any other colors for this class, at least not initially, because I want them to get well versed in color mixing!) - Crayola Artista II is a great brand and they make a set of 3 primaries you can find on Dick Blick or Office Depot, then you can fill in with black and white individual bottles - but there are other decent brands. FYI, from personal experience, I'd suggest you avoid Sargent Art tempera paints - the ones I've tried have very lackluster coverage. -Brushes, ideally flat, in at least two sizes (one large, one smaller), but round could work, as long as one is BIG -Large paper to paint on - ideally 12"x18" (or bigger) -A water container for washing brushes (I use a mason jar; a deli container is another good option) -A clean cellulose sponge (or comparable, to blot brushes) on a small dish -Small cups/containers to hold paint -A plastic plate/palette on which to mix paints -A small set of oil pastels (for later in the semester) - if you can't get these it's not the worst thing. But they're a great-to-have. Crayola is a great, affordable brand.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
-Tempera painting can be messy! I highly recommend a smock and table covering! And maybe a floor covering! -Although siblings may share a computer, per Outschool policy all individual learners must be registered separately. -I require cameras to be on during class. -PARENTS: you are welcome to sit nearby to be present with your learners, but please know that per Outschool requirements, you need to keep yourself off-camera!
