ペットの肖像画：水彩画

Students will get four vlessons of painting instruction in watercolor painting (45-60 minutes a week, depending on the painting) and an interactive Padlet classroom to ask questions and share art. I will teach students the tools used while painting and how to start a project. We will use our pets, pets we wish we had, and pets we have loved and lost as inspiration for this lesson. Please bring a photo of the pet you would like to paint to have a reference while you paint.   I will cover how to set up, store paint, and sketch a template when planning a painting project. 

At the beginning of each week, students will participate in a lesson and ask questions while they paint. Students can stop and ask questions as needed. In each lesson, I will make the paintings listed below each week. I will also provide some reference photos for ideas of other items that they could make. In each lesson, I will talk them through the techniques that I am using and how they can do them. 

Students will have access to a class Padlet where they can see images of and like the work of others. All posts need to be approved by me, so only appropriate posts will go up. The Padlet works like a giant bulletin board where students can see their peer's work and get more ideas about what to try independently. I will also use Google Slides to show reference images to look at. Videos will be posted as files, but large or extra-long videos will be posted as a private YouTube link.

I am skilled at differentiating content for many ages and learning needs in a kind and supportive style. I will have a camera on my hand while I paint, but I will also be visible on the screen on and off throughout the lesson for directions. Learners will not need any prior experience, but they will need painting materials.
