Class Experience

Students will have a chance to create in-class with the instructor, who will answer questions and offer feedback. We will utilize the class web page were there will be additional resources, a place to post questions between classes, and upload images of your work to share with the rest of class. Before class begins students will have access to pre-instructional content: Materials list, care and use of materials, and vocabulary.

At the end of the course, students will have gained the following knowledge:
•	Proper use and care of acrylic paints and tools
•	Use the color wheel for inspirations
•	Scratching lines technique to create a composition
•	To create additional works of art

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love using the scratching line technique to explore color and to practice drawing trees.  Drawing bare trees is a great way to get comfortable with creating works of art that includes trees.
