애완동물을 칠하세요! 청소년을 위한 아크릴 페인팅(자기 주도 수업)

In this 2 lesson Self Paced class students will be walked through how to create an acrylic painting of their favorite pet.

This is a SELF PACED class - which means there are NO LIVE CLASSES. Instructional videos will be posted for your learner to watch and paint along to, as well as optional classroom discussion. Students will be expected to also post photos of the work they have completed. The more your learner participates the more value they will get from this class!

Students should bring a prepared canvas to class as well as a printout of their pet's photo sized to fit their canvas (instructions on how to do this will be sent before class). Please see the Learner Supply List for a full list of supplies they will need.

In the first session students will be walked through how to transfer their chosen photo to their canvas, and then begin filling in the base of their pet's colors.

The second session will focus on how to add shading and details to their painting to really bring their pet's image to life!

Please see the attached Syllabus for details on each Lesson.

NOTE: Learners should be able to use a paintbrush with or without assistance.
