Ms. Joy's Beginning/Intermediate Painting Workshop: Seeing the Light
Description
Seeing the Light:

Paintings that have a sense of three dimensional space are effective illusions!

It’s all in the light and shadows! Blending values to define forms is one way to create volumes and space in a painting. Students that have worked with me in art class have been introduced to this concept and we will continue to practice this technique in the fall workshop.

We warm up with demonstrations and a study of a single object. A second still life arrangement with multiple personal objects will follow.

This workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of working with acrylic paints. Learning the basic color palette, setting up the palette, color mixing, brush techniques and proper clean-up procedures are fundamental to a positive painting experience. The five session course is designed to broaden visual awareness and assist in the development of skills and individual expression. A maximum class size of 8 ensures plenty of personal attention.

Guide to skill levels:

Beginning - Students in 6th through 8th grades that have not painted with acrylic paints or have limited experience.

Beginning/Intermediate - Students in 6th through 8th grades that have had some instruction with acrylic painting techniques and have made several paintings.
