CLASS NO. 3

MAR 7, 2021

ERIC HOTZ: ART CLASSES AT LANGLEY ARTS COUNCIL ​

In this class my students focused on creating a structured watercolour painting. My students were given pen & ink drawings on illustration board, along with a colour photo reference that their drawing was based upon. They then coloured the illustration with watercolour washes. I created a different illustration for each student. This was to contrast with the previous class where the art was a loose rendering of a landscape. Although structured, it gives the student a different way of how watercolours can be employed. My students were free to use any techniques and colours.  This was a fun exercise that could be started in class and finished at home. Samples of the final art can be viewed in the photos below.

For class number 3, I provided illustration board with the assignment pre-drawn onto it using waterproof pen & ink. Students could choose from 6 different drawings. A colour photo was also provided of each drawing. The students could then choose their method of how to paint their drawing.

I provided new disposable table coverings for every class to create a safe class environment .

Keeping my students safe with social distancing.​

I provide two hairdryers in my classes to speed up drying time to allow my students more time to create!

Wearing masks and social distancing is important in my classes.​ Everyone must be safe and feel safe.

Students are encouraged to experiment with any techniques they have been taught and to try any colours.​

Picture
Photo reference for each illustration was provided to allow students to go in any direction they want.

Creation = Fun. Self expression is always encouraged and appreciated when exhibited!.
