There will be no formal assessments for this class. I will be giving positive feedback and suggestions during the class period.Class Experience
In this class we will learn all about watercolor paints. We will learn how to use paints, paintbrushes and water. We will learn to use techniques like watercolor resist, blending on paper, adding texture, wet-on-wet painting, layering colors, and dry brush. The class is structured with instruction in a step-by step format. Steps will be broken down into small steps to ensure that all students are successful. I encourage conversation during our classes. Students can interact with me as much as needed! They are free to ask questions. I will give students positive feedback and suggestions along the way. One of my goals is to boost confidence in students and their art-making abilities. There is no required past experience for this class. Students just need to bring their creativity! Student input will be taken into consideration when planning future art projects. Every week we will choose together what we do the next week! Topics are outlined below: The rest of the topics will be chosen by the students! Week 1: (Saturday, September 10) Symmetrical Butterfly Week 2: (Saturday, September 17) Mountain Landscape-add Oil Pastels or Crayons Week 3: (Saturday, September 24) Abstract Patterns and Shapes Week 4: (Saturday, October 1 ) Llama Painting! Week 5 (Saturday, October 8) Watercolor Resist Technique Review The rest of the topics will be chosen by the students as the weeks continue! As the weeks continue, the students choose their own art!

Hello, everyone! My name is Jen. My passion is art! I am a certified visual art teacher (for all grades) and a certified multiple subjects teacher (elementary level) and have been teaching art for 15 years. I primarily teach painting and drawing. My favorite thing is to see a student have fun, gain confidence and learn something in my classes! In my classes, I break steps down to make art easy and enjoyable. I also teach ESL classes both online and in person. I love animals and nature. A lot of my own personal art is inspired by nature. I have 3 fabulous kitties at home!Reviews
