Hi,

Well, you have a good outline, but your beginners need to be given a splash
or dabble to get them started.

So why not begin with a painting---a wet in wet?  First get them hooked then
do the instructions.

One color and a piece of wet watercolor paper and off you go.  Then give the
supplies, and other stuff.

I suggest maybe an abstract or provide a flower or ask them to select
something from their purses?

I used to teach Comp Eng. 101 and my students knew the class was college
required and they HATED the class. So I began with a little writing to get
the class moving.   Students had to write about what they had written
lately---even text messages can be added.  It began to interest them a
little in improving their writing.

Some even saw the value of learning.

 

 

But you can expect dropouts---I was always shocked to see how students
dropped after paying big tuitions.

It happens.  But getting them started with a painting might help. 

 

Pauline
