PAINTING

About this Class: The focus of this course is going to be strengthening our knowledge of painting. We will study the basics and focus in on fine tuning those skills and then later in the year dive into more complex concepts. You will learn proper techniques to use in your paintings, from proper brush technique to shadows.

Examples of Work: In painting, we will do a lot of work with different styles of painting. We will dabble with realism, abstract, stylized and others. We will create paintings some original, some reproductions from various painting mediums: acrylic, watercolor, oil, and others.

Grading: I understand that not everyone has a divine gift in the arts and I will NOTbe grading on talent. Each student will be graded to their ability. I will give each assignment a set of criteria I expect everyone to reach. If you reach everything I ask of you with 110% effort you should score very well.

Homework:
1.) You may be asked to bring something outside of class for a project, (picture, material, etc.) you will be given a few days notice of when you need such items.
2.) IF you can not complete a project within time frame, you may need to take work home to finish before due date.

Assignments: You will be given a certain number of days to complete an assignment. Majority of those days are class time, so use your time wisely. If you cannot make a due date, it is YOUR responsibility to talk to me and make other arrangements. Points from the assignment will be lost for everyday it is late. Once an assignment is two weeks late, I will no longer accept it. If you wish to make up the points, an alternative assignment will be given.
