TITLE:

Intro to Watercolor Landscape Painting

DESCRIPTION:

In this course students will learn how to draw a realistic landscape from a photograph and then paint it using watercolor paints. Students will learn the basic drawing skills and the principles of color theory, and apply them in order to create accurately rendered landscape painting. The course is designed to teach absolute beginners how to draw and paint with enough confidence to continue on their own. This course will include instruction on how to integrate the course material into your art curriculum using the new arts standards, using curriculum mapping.
