Lesson Plans

What MOVEMENT are you working in? What is your landscape? We are going to be painting ACRYLIC on CANVAS… you are going to use the COLORS from the MOVEMENT and artist you have chosen.

  • Did you MAKE the photograph?
  • AI an image that has a lot of your own PROMPTS (and you still have to paint and draw it)
  • A Google search that is Creative Commons?

Let’s look at the WHEEL! This is the second of the major projects we are working on. How are we going to schedule this with all of you in the studio?

  • Step 1  – Start with a wedged potato of clay.
  • Step 2  – Throw it down as close to the center as possible.
  • Step 3- Use the palm of one hand and the side of the other hand.
  • Step 4  – Don’t let the clay move your hands, make your hands move the clay.
  • Step 5  – Spend a lot of time on the wheel
