Class Experience

This fun turtle is totally fun and easy to paint!  Join Tara Lynn to create this "Totally Turtle" painting with acrylic paint.  The supply list is short and sweet and it is great to give as a gift or hang up in your home when it's finished. 

We will start by making sure everyone has the supplies needed.  We begin by drawing the turtle shape onto our canvas or paper.  Then, we will paint a background, and add some dots for character.  After we complete the background we will paint in fun doodles and details.  Don't worry, this painting is fun and easy and we will work together step by step!  

Please check the "supply list" tab for the art materials. 

This lesson will typically take 1 hour to complete, but can run shorter or longer depending on the needs of the artists.

Learning Goals

Students will independently explore basic elements of art such as line, space, shape, form, texture, value, color, and balance. 
Students will independently explore the basic principles of art such as balance, emphasis, harmony, movement, pattern, proportion, repetition, rhythm, unity, and variety.
