The Anxiety Module: High Level Concept document was created in collaboration with my client, Mr. Jennings, a mental health professional with over twenty years of experience in the mental health services. This concept document is the developmental framework for of the Anxiety Module which is hosted in a Moodle learning management system. The Anxiety Module provides digital resources for coping with anxiety. We followed a Structured Skill Development and Support (SSDS) mental health model which breaks down to: Tell- (What, Why, When about use of a skill) Show- (How to do [modeling] the skill), Do- (Practice the Skill), Review (Discussion and Feedback).

Additional Comments:
This artifact links to an adult mini-course on color theory. As we learn about color theory we’ll demonstrate our understanding of the knowledge through our acrylic painting assignments. This course comprises of three modules. We will first splash into some color theory, which will be the most dense topic we cover. Then we will grapple with painting terminology and tools of the trade. Finally, we will put to practice what we have learned as we complete a couple of painting projects. You will be expected to upload images of your painted work in this final module.

Additional Comments:
This artifact links to an adult mini-course which explores 12 Design Principles for Art, with focus on acrylic painting. In the first phase of our exploration, we will learn what the principles of design are. This will aid us in our understanding of how to translate these principles into design elements for painting. This knowledge helps even non-artists to understand and critique various artforms, especially that of imagery. We will demonstrate our understanding of the principles and design elements as we apply them in our painting(s).
