  • 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.
