This is a flexible schedule class with NO LIVE MEETINGS. I will be using weekly video instructions to walk students through the steps to create an acrylic painting of their pet. Each student will be able to watch the video instructions on their own schedule. Students will be provided videos, instructions, and a homework assignment on MONDAY of the scheduled week. To get the most out of the class I recommend turning in homework by Friday to be reviewed before the next step of the assignment is given in the following lesson. These lessons build on one another so that each week the students will be completing a piece of their painting until it is completed in week 4! Previous painting experience is a plus, but definitely not required! I will walk you through all the steps to create your own masterpiece. Acrylic paints, brushes, and a canvas will be needed for this class. Please see the supply list for all the details.

CLASS OUTLINE
For homework students should plan to spend 1-2 hours a week working on their painting, using their instruction videos and class discussion. Learner progress will be evaluated through in-progress photos of their work posted to the classroom on Fridays. The teacher will provide individual feedback and guidance for each student. Students are encouraged to interact with other students in the class and can provide constructive feedback in the classroom to their classmates throughout the course. 

Week 1 - Choosing a Photo Reference and Getting a Print Out
For week 1 students will pick out the perfect photo reference for their pet painting, and post it to the classroom for discussion and be approved by the teacher. Students (with the help of parents) will need to get a canvas-sized printout of their images.

Week 2 - Transferring the Photo to the Canvas, and Finalizing the Sketch
Students will transfer their photos to their canvas following the instructional video. Students will finalize their sketch and post it in the classroom for discussion with classmates and be approved by the teacher. 

Week 3 - First Layer of Paint
Students will paint in the basic shapes and colors on their painting. Students will post in the classroom for peer review and teacher feedback.

Week 4 - Second Layer of Paint
Students will complete all of the details of their pet painting and post their completed work in the classroom to show off to all Learners! Students should respond to the finished artwork with positive feedback!
