Class Experience
The purpose of this class is to teach the student how to deal with the element of painting outside: the changing of the light, the changing of the weather, being in public, different materials used, and working from techniques that allow the artist to work quickly. The class runs in one week sessions. The children are to be dropped off at the Salem Willows Clam Shack at 9AM, where they have a choice of scenes for them to work from. They are taught how to set up their pallets and about the various materials being used. After this, a 15 minute demonstration is performed each morning by the instructor as a sample of what is expected of them that day. There are 15 students to three teachers. Students are expected to bring a box lunch and snack. The last 20 minutes of each day, the children are allowed to play in the arcade under constant supervision. The children are then to be picked up at 1PM at the arcade.
Notes
The children are to be dropped off at the Salem Willows entrance at 9AM, and picked up at the same point of drop off at 1pm. Students are expected to bring a box lunch and snack.

We love that our child was able to build a skill while having a fun and relaxing time at such a beautiful location, the Salem Willows. We also appreciated that the students work on a single project over the course of the week, which encourages planning and patience. The instructors were lovely and our child really enjoyed getting to know them.
Improvements:
We love the paintings that came home - take-home instructions on how to hang or frame them would be great!

Nothing..Pretty damned awesome all around. Meg is an inspiration to all of the students, be they younger or teens. My 14 year old has been taking classes for 5 years and absolute LOVES going to class. Summer camps at the Willows are brilliant too..don't hesitate to book any class at Acorn..you won't regret it!
