Summer Camp - Easy Painting Projects - Weekly Painting Club -Paint With Lovejoy
What's included
1 live meeting
55 mins in-class hours per weekAssessment
Creativity is a very personalized process, I encourage my students to take "Progress photos" so that when done, they can look back at how they transformed a black canvas into a painting. These photos are a great visual documentation of their learning. In a year or 5 years, they can look back at their photos and realize how far their skills have come. Thus boosting their morale/ self-esteem to do more creative things.Class Experience
JUNE & JULY Summer Camp Painting weekly options This Summer ongoing subscription art club allows students to explore easy painting projects in a low-pressure, student-centered environment. Each week students will complete a different painting with step-by-step teacher guidance. Students are encouraged to add their own unique flair to each project through color choices and other project variations. No previous painting experience is required. This painting club will offer easy painting options that do not require a traceable, or initial drawing. The background will be a great place to practice blending, then the student will learn how to draw the subject with a brush and will practice on a scrap sheet of paper allowing the background to dry. Then they will complete the final steps on their canvas. This weekly class is 55 mins. For the painting demonstrations, Lovejoy will utilize a "screen share" slideshow and pre-recorded video to demonstrate the steps. The slideshow is a file on canva or google drive. (Students are not directed to any outside sources) Please upload your final painting photo to this class and inspire others to join the class *If you feel like these paintings are too simple or you are ready to push your skills, check out the Iconic painting club for more challenging paintings. *Have a group and want to create your own time slot? email Lovejoy to set up the class Great for homeschool groups & remote learning ______________________________________ Supplies are pretty simple The demonstration will utilize acrylic paint, but a student can use watercolors if they wanted Brushes - 3 various sizes (flat & pointy) Surface - canvas, canvas panel, watercolor paper Size - 8x10, 9x12 or 11x14 Colors: white, black, red, blue, yellow, orange, green, purple *specific colors and sample of the weeks painting will be posted prior to class Scrap sheet of paper to practice design water cup, mixing plate, paper towel Apron or wear old clothes ______________________________________ Upcoming Projects: Project and supply lists will be posted to the classroom in advance ~ Summer 2023~ ** want other options? = check out the other weekly painting clubs & summer painting camps (weekly) week of: 6-4 - Joshua tree Silhouette week of: 6-11 - Silhouette Sunrise pier week of: 6-18 - Sunset Palm Tree week of: 6-25 - Beach Palms week of: 7-2 - Half Sunflower week of: 7-9 - Sea Turtle Silhouette week of: 7-16 - Dandelion wish week of: 7-23 - Simple Sailboat Week of: 7-30 -Cute Cactus ** extra Summer options end Want to keep painting? check out my other weekly painting club options ______________________________________ **This is an ongoing subscription.
