Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(24)
In this 1-1, hands-on and personally tailored art/art history class, learners will get to know a different famous artist each week, learn some fascinating facts about their lives, and create an art project in their signature style.
Class experience
This highly interactive, ongoing and personally tailored class will have learners beaming with pride at their ability to pick out a Picasso, spot a Matisse cutout, and identify Van Gogh's impasto brushstrokes like an art history pro! Each week, your learner and I will focus on a specific artist. We will spend the first part of class understanding what made the spotlight artist tick, from his artistic beginnings, to his/her physical movement around the world, to the random facts that support...
This class supports beginning art, history, art history, and art appreciation, among other disciplines. Throughout the course, students will learn to identify the artist behind the work (even younger elementary students will be excited to identify Seurat's pointillism, Matisse's cutouts and Van Gogh's impasto brushstrokes) and remember key facts about their lives that are fun to share and helpful to know. Students will also learn how to implement these famous artists' styles in their artwork inside and outside of class.
All classes will require art paper (sturdy, multimedia art paper is best but copy paper will also work), a pencil, an eraser, and a black marker/Sharpie. Typically, students will be able to use whatever coloring supplies they prefer, e.g., markers, crayons, colored pencils, oil pastels, chalk pastels, watercolors, etc. If alternative supplies are needed, I will send the learner a message with a heads up!
Each week, we will view multiple original works by the spotlight artist. Where it is enlightening, we will also read direct quotes by those artists about their lives, philosophy and/or works. Lastly, I may sometimes reference some excellent biographical books, including "Artists: Inspiring Stories of Their Lives and Works" by Susie Hodge.
