2. Welcome page We start off each lesson with a welcome page. Here is your “warm up” moment, kind of like walking into a classroom filled with eager students. Recall those days as a child in elementary school? Perhaps the students are eager with anticipation of today’s lesson, or they may be weary, even sleepy, from a long day of math. (I know math is good, but… yech.). This is your opportunity to welcome everyone, cast a vision for what you’ll be teaching. More examples follow… {The font on this page is Lato sized 20pt.

3. Welcome page A few reminders as you create your lessons: 1. Keep the tone intelligent. Use language, content, and images befitting a high school student. The younger crowd will rise to that level. At IguanaPaint Academy, we never dumb down our instruction. 2. Give much detail. Assume your students have never heard what you’re teaching, yet are ready to soak up what you share with them. 3. Keep your images BIG! After all, this is an art school. We love pictures. 4. No cheesy clip art. Never. Take the time to shoot and create good images. [Open Sans Condensed sized 22pt.
