Painting Studio (Grades 6–12)
Friday 10:00–11:55
Teacher: Priscilla Boot
Description: In this class we will be working with oil paints, acrylic paints, and watercolor. Each medium has distinct characteristics which lend themselves to certain qualities in the finished art, and as we explore them, students will learn various techniques for producing beautiful paintings. We will learn about color, tone, composition, and balance. All materials are included in the class fees except canvases for the oil and acrylic painting and easels. Canvases and tabletop easels are available at Hobby Lobby or Amazon but will not be needed until partway through the first semester. There is a $30 material fee included in the cost of this course.
Class and Material Cost: $540
