Introduction to Painting will help your child understand color, form, and composition when starting any kind of painting. They will have an awareness of how to achieve a certain style by learning a variety of brushstroke techniques through exercises and projects. They will have a basic understanding of how to load his/her palette efficiently and effectively so that the viewer can fully understand him/her. Since there is no exact formula to begin or end a painting, your child will have the knowledge and gratitude to create pieces that best explain what they want to convey to his/her audience.

-Develop and expose the creativity that is in each student
- Better understanding of harmony and composition
-Creating depth in a painting by using layering techniques
-Use simple shapes to map out his/her masterpieces
