Club de Arte - Pintura Acrílica

During this fun and creative art club, students will learn to paint landscapes, seascapes, animals, and objects from both nature and our imagination. In the spring, we will focus on painting floral designs, trees, and spring scenes. In the summer, we will capture the beach, seashells, boats, and palm trees. In the fall, we will paint seasonal themes such as pumpkins, apples, and fall animals. In the winter, we will create snowscapes, winter scenes, pine trees, snowmen, and cozy indoor settings.

Students will explore basic techniques using acrylic paint, including wet brush, dry brush, thin paint, impasto (thick paint), palette knife, color mixing, and creating gradients (ombre effect). We will also learn fundamental color theory as we mix and apply paints.

Throughout this class, students will have ample time to interact with each other and with me in this club-style environment. I will provide lots of encouraging and enthusiastic feedback. My teaching style is relaxed, and I aim to help students develop their own artistic styles.

This class is open to both beginners and advanced students who may need encouragement. I encourage creativity at every stage. I will be painting alongside students using an overhead camera and demonstrating techniques as we create together.
