주간 동물 및 신화 속 생물 수채화

In this Animals & Mythical Creatures Watercolor Painting class, students will learn to use color theory to create harmonious color palettes. Each week, students will learn how to identify different color palettes to paint their art, (e.g., warm colors, cool colors, primary colors, analogous colors, accent colors, monochromatic colors, complementary colors).

Please note that students can enroll in this class at any time. Each scheduled meeting will be spent drawing/painting ONE picture, learning how to use different color schemes every week. Students do not need to be enrolled in previous weeks of this class to be successful.

For every class, I will demonstrate each step for students and have students complete that step along with me. My classroom is a calm, fun, and creative environment where discussion between teacher and students is encouraged. I ask students questions throughout the lesson to check for student understanding and increase engagement. Students may interact with each other if they want to share what they learn during class.
