창의성을 발휘해 보자 - 미술 수업 - 그림 그리기 - 모든 기술 수준

In this live 4 day art class we will be learning about different methods of creativity.   I will briefly talk about the technique we will be using at the beginning of each class and demonstrate it while the students try it for themselves.  I allow students to ask questions during class to make sure they feel comfortable with the methods and materials we are using.  We will be using acrylic paints and watercolor paints, pencils, markers and paper.  I will post the required materials for each class a week before it starts. Learners of all skill level are welcome to join.   We encourage only positive constructive remarks when reviewing each learners finished work.

Day #1.  Salt Art Fireworks Sky with Watercolors -  
Explore the magic of combining watercolor with salt.   It is like blending art and science together in this painting class.  Students will create a fireworks sky with colors of their choice.  The page will come to life with beautiful blends of colors using salt and watercolors.  

Day #2. Self Portraits - 
Learn how to use a mirror to draw and paint a self portrait.  Creating a self portrait may seem scary but if you just go slow and use a mirror it can make it a bit easier.  First we will use a pencil to sketch your face and then you can choose from any color acrylic paints you would like to color in the rest. Have a few paint brushes on hand of different sizes, some small and pointed and some larger wide brushes too.  Bring a black sharpie or thick black marker if you would like to go over the pencil before you start to paint for a bolder more outlined look.  You might be surprised of how fantastic they will turn out.

Day #3 Panel Paintings - 
Students will create a story on panels like you would find on a page of a comic book or graphic novel.  Tell a story in 4 or 5 panels to express a moment, feeling or a place in time.  First think of a story you can divide on to each panel, draw each panel with pencil, outline with black marker and then paint each panel with acrylic paint.  See how your story comes to life. 

#4. Safari Landscape with Watercolors - 
How fun to image being on a safari with the many colors and things you would see.  Use a blending technique to paint a colorful landscape with choice of a sunrise or a sunset.   Students will learn to blend colors using a light to dark method.  Add trees or wild animals to the landscape.  Let your imagination run wild.
