In this 4 class course you will learn about the different brands of acrylic, different types of paint brushes, and different techniques you can use to create a variety of things. This class is perfect for 13 to 18 year olds looking to explore acrylic painting in depth and see what they can create. The first class you will learn about different brands of acrylic and create a swatch from whichever brand you have. We'll also cover some basic acrylic vocab words that will be used frequently. The second class we will cover different types of paintbrushes and their uses. We will create a small painting based on something related to summer (ie fruit, a landscape, favorite summer activity) The third class we will start a project that will be finished during the last week of class. Students will get to pick their topic for this painting and I will help guide them through the process. The fourth class will be spent finishing our paintings and sharing them with the other students to finish off our course.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am Mrs. Householder and I love to teach art! I will be teaching a mix of art history and art materials classes such as watercolor and acrylic painting.
I taught k-6 art for 2 years in a public school and am currently teaching 6th-8th grade art. I've also taught from ages 5-20+ in a public setting. I do have experience in working with various disabilities and am able to help your student succeed when making art. If you'd like to discuss specific things, please message me!
I believe in doing things to really learn something and I try to make my classes as engaging as I can. Art history doesn't have to be boring so I try to find fun artists from all walks of life, art movements, and ethnicities to talk about because no one is the same and it's important to learn about different artists from around the world.
Some of my favorite ways to make art are with watercolors, colored pencils, and yarn! I've crocheted for almost 20 years, drawn for about 12, and painted for around 5 years. I'm always working to learn new things though because it's so much fun to learn new art forms.
