*I have taught the Humanities in Pennsylvania public schools since 1996 with tremendous interest & excitement from students. *I'm extremely passionate about the humanities and feel they are very important in a person's life. *Each lesson I teach has been carefully planned and tested in my brick and mortar (17 Years) or virtual classroom. *I teach in an upbeat and encouraging way and I truly want each student to be comfortable expressing themselves in their work.
*Students NEED the: 3Dux/ Design Architecture Set: Iconic Home It can be found here: https://www.3duxdesign.com/products/modhaus-combo-kit One kit will be sufficient for both 3-D projects assigned in this course. These kits can be used over and over to create a variety of projects. Kits can be combined with other 3Dux/design modeling sets to create larger and more complex structures. (The connectors are engineered to fit most single-ply cardboard so if you need more pieces or different shapes, just re-purpose a box!) Students may also need: -12 inch ruler -drawing paper -pencil with an eraser -colored pencils -construction paper (various colors) -watercolor paper -crayons -markers -paints (watercolor or acrylic) -paintbrushes -glue stick -scissors
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Creative works will be viewed, discussed and used for inspiration during this course. I will not be showing, discussing or referencing any controversial works. All selected works are age appropriate. Sometimes when kids learn about an artist, artwork or culture & become interested they want to do their own further research & may come across some of more graphic works if they have unchaperoned access to the internet.
