Please use a device with an internal/external mic and camera. Cellphones are not recommended. Expectations and Goals This is a 4-week art course.

Students will finish the class with 3 paintings and a certificate of completion. Class 1: We will start our 1st piece of art by sketching out the drawing using a permanent marker. NOTE: No erasing!

Class 4: We will paint the final masterpiece for the series. Course Materials Required Materials • 3 Canvas 16 X 20 (multi-pack flat or stretched).
