**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...

As a licensed art teacher, I have developed techniques for breaking down painting 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.
Students will need: Watercolor paper (1-2 sheets of 8X10, 9X12 or 11X14, pre-cut into 4 equal pieces). We will definitely paint 3-4 pieces during the first class session, and more during the 3rd and 4th sessions. I recommend Canson brand. Watercolor paint: I recommend Crayola, Prang or Sargent Art in the oval pans, OR the kind that comes in small tubes. Paint brushes (variety: I like round, size 6 or 7 for this project, plus round, size 2 or 3 for small details). **PLEASE** Make sure you have watercolor paper and good quality watercolor paints. Other papers, especially cardstock, are not surface treated for watercolor and will cause the student to become frustrated. Likewise, acrylic paints do not work well for this because they will not flow like watercolor. Only one color of acrylic paint needed: White, for painting stars in the galaxy.
