A sample assignment from Week 4 of the class Studio: Painting - Tempera and Acrylic

1. Research


Watch a hands-on demonstration showcasing various acrylic techniques, including glazing, scumbling, impasto, mixed media, and more!

2. Discussion


Discuss your experience with basic acrylic techniques. Work with a group of peers to problem-solve and troubleshoot any lingering questions or issues with the techniques presented.

3. Creation


Experiment with each of the techniques presented. Choose one experiment to expand upon, creating one final larger work of art. Document your painting process through the creation of a process board.
