ONLINE CLASS REQUIREMENTS
Please join the Zoom class a few minutes before start time
Online classes via Zoom are interactive and you will be taught as if you are physically in the class - from a learning perspective and socially! The class structure involves lessons based around your artworks of choice, with optional warm ups and lessons/micro-lessons tailored to creative and skills based needs within the bounds of the class.
CLASS STRUCTURE
-
Warm Up tasks at the start of some lessons (optional; approx. 10 mins). You may continue these into art pieces if you wish.
-
Working on your painting or drawing of choice; or the lesson planned for that class. I will provide feedback and teaching one by one.
-
Email me any images you may be using before class, so I am prepared!
YOU WILL NEED
-
A painting or drawing (or an idea/image/picture/inspiration) ready to go! Treat this like you would be in the Artful Snippets Studio in person. Have all of your materials, such as: image/photograph/inspiration (printed is best, iPad is okay), canvas or paper. IMAGE PREPARATION TIPS HERE
-
Prepare! You may prepare your canvas or paper as much as you feel confident to do so. Eg. gesso on canvas, and paint a plain background if needed. If you are working from an image or photograph and have the confidence to do so, please transfer a drawing of it onto your canvas or paper.
-
Good lighting! A MUST HAVE! Not positioned directly in front of your camera. This will create a dark silhouette of you and your artwork.
-
Warm Up materials! 1 or 2 A3 sheets of paper (A4 will be okay), pencil, piece of charcoal and a couple of coloured pencils if you have them.
-
A few random items you may like to draw as a warm up. Eg. A cup and teapot/ blind or single line contour drawings.
-
Internet connection with internet browser or the Zoom App.
-
1 - 2 devices with video and microphone (laptop, ipad/notebook or smart phone). If you can set up two, please do.
