Learning Goals for Traveling & Painting Club: 

1. Cultural Appreciation: Gain an understanding and appreciation of different cultures and artistic styles through painting scenes inspired by various travel destinations.

2. Artistic Expression: Develop and refine artistic skills by experimenting with different painting techniques and mediums to capture the essence of different landscapes and cultures.

3. Observational Skills: Enhance observational skills by closely studying the architecture, landscapes, and people of different regions and translating those observations into paintings.

4. Creative Problem-Solving: Learn to creatively problem-solve by adapting to different environments and conditions while painting on-location (virtually) during travel excursions.

5. Critical Thinking: Analyze and interpret the cultural significance of the locations visited and express these insights through artistic interpretations in their paintings.

6. Time Management: Practice effective time management skills by planning and executing paintings within class time and if needed finishing up within the week. 

7. Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate with peers and communicate effectively with instructors to gather inspiration, share ideas, and navigate artistic challenges encountered during travel and painting experiences.

8. Portfolio Development: Build a diverse portfolio of artwork showcasing a range of painting styles, techniques, and subject matter inspired by travel experiences, which can be valuable for college applications or future artistic endeavors.

9. Personal Growth: Cultivate a sense of curiosity, open-mindedness, and cultural awareness through immersive travel experiences and artistic exploration, fostering personal growth and self-discovery.

10. Lifelong Learning: Develop a lifelong passion for travel, art, and cultural exploration, fostering a curiosity-driven mindset that extends beyond the classroom and into future endeavors.

Homework Offered
Learners may need to finish details about the artwork throughout the week and bring it back the following week to share.
Assessments Offered
I prefer formative assessments throughout class. If a parent requests I will give summative assessments.
Grades Offered
Report cards or Certification of completion for the semester will be provided only if a parent/student makes a request. Grades will be positive and based on effort, and skill. The role that grades will play will be encouraging :).
*Individualized Attention, Flexible Learning Environment, Structured Routine, Positive Reinforcement, Accommodations and Modifications
The medium you use is a personal choice. I encourage paint of some sort like acrylic or watercolors and something to create on like a sketchbook or canvas. Please use the materials that appeal to you. However, if you prefer sketching, you can take this class with just a piece of paper and pencil.

A blow dryer or hand-held fan is not necessary but cool to have if you are painting: useful for drying layers of paint quickly, allowing for efficient progress in a short amount of time.

With any type of supplies that you love, you'll be well-equipped to unleash your creativity and bring your artistic vision to life!
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
