Fun with Color: A Quality Time Online Workshop
Summary
In this class, you’ll learn how to teach the children in your life the art element of color. We'll learn about how colors work together and will create a color wheel, a color sample, and a basic landscape that you will then be able to teach your family in a way that’s fun and interesting to you both.
This work will be formatted in the size of a card so you can mail your artwork and a note to each other. In addition, we will review some famous artwork that uses color for further inspiration. No matter their age and skill level, we’ll talk about projects you can create together and how you can connect with them through art at a distance.
Cost: $25 (museum members) / $28 (future members). Registration closes March 9th. Participants are responsible for providing their own supplies. Please gather the items listed below for either Option 1 (watercolors) or Option 2 (markers) before class. It’s good to practice with the supply option that the kids you’re connecting with will be using.
Supply Option #1 (please gather these items before class):
• WATERCOLORS - A set of watercolor paints with a minimum of R,O,Y,G,B,P/V & Brown – Teacher recommendation: any brand will do but Arteza and Windsor & Newton can both be found online at Amazon. I do not recommend the Windsor & Newton Pocket Plus size as it is quite hard to open.
• PAPER - Three blank watercolor cards and/or watercolor paper. Additional piece of white paper, any kind, is handy to test colors on.
• BRUSHES - at least 1 brush, non-frayed. This could be round, any number 2-6 and/or a flat brush 1/4”
• WATER - Two containers for rinse water
• PAPER TOWELS - a few sheets of paper towels or a clean rag to clean your brush
• PALETTE - a white palette for mixing paints- could be a plate, old top of a plastic container, lid that comes on the set of paints, etc.
• TAPE - painters tape or masking tape 1/2 in -1 in is handy to tape your painting down so it doesn’t warp
• FLAT SURFACE – You’ll need a surface to tape each painting to. A piece of Masonite, clip board, flat piece of plastic, even a piece of cardboard will do. It’s best to have three individual pieces instead of one big one.
• PENCIL & RULER
Supply Option #2 (please gather these items before class):
• MARKERS - Set of markers, any brand, that aren’t dried out.
• PAPER – Three blank cards – the smoother the surface the better. Bristol Board works well with markers. Additional piece of white paper, any kind, is handy to test colors on.
• 91% RUBBING ALCOHOL (if you’re using only permanent markers) and a smallish brush or Q-tips to blend with
• SMALL CONTAINER to hold the alcohol – this can be a cleaned bottle cap
• PENCIL & RULER
