Painting 1 provides students an experience in several mediums while learning a range of techniques and approaches. Traditional media may include ink, watercolor, and acrylics. Students will also learn to paint digitally using the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. Creativity, design, and problem solving will be a focus of the class as students work through prompts.

You should leave this class having grown your skills in:

Everyone come in with a baseline of skill. As the teacher my role is much like a gardener. I will try give you what you need to grow from your current state.

What will I be painting?
