I keep the students motivated and inspired in a collaborative, interpretive friendly, inclusive and culture conscience classroom. Classes will always have the theme introduced in the beginning, learners will participate in a short demo and then they will have a good portion of the class to create. Each week the students will get a supply list that they will need to bring to class. It is important that the students come with the supplies they need for each project so class may operate in a timely manner. Course supplies are listed in the supply list below. This class is age appropriate for 7-8 year olds, but it would be helpful to have experience with the painting, drawing, cutting and pasting.
Learning Goals
- to learn about history, art, and culture
- to refine cutting and glueing skills
- how to infuse instruction with creative, innovative solutions
- to refine drawing and painting techniques
- to create realized 2D and 3D works enriched by knowledge gained from coursework.

Parental Guidance
This class can be messy. Please be advised that your learner needs a studio friendly space to work in studio friendly clothing. We will use white glue and scissors, markers, model magic clay and paint. Please be sure you are giving your child children's scissors to work with so they do not harm themselves accidentally. Safety first in the classroom : ) We also will be discussing cultures from around the world and history. I do my best to be as inclusive as possible. I insist on mutual respect to all members who participate in (student to teacher and student to student) the class.
Supply List
-Please note that this supply list is not needed for EVERY class. I will send out a weekly email which will indicate the project we are working on and the supplies needed. Supplies that need to be purchased will last well beyond the projects assigned. Making your supply list a one time investment that will last. I tried to make a list of the supplies that most students need in an typical art classroom with budget in mind. 1 package of construction paper 1 small stack of white paper for drawing 1 box of crayons 2 glue sticks 1 pair of kids scissors 1 tray of at least 8 watercolors 1 small watercolor brush 1 medium watercolor brush 1 large watercolor brush 1 package of crayola model magic- https://www.target.com/p/crayola-4oz-model-magic-white/-/A-52768914?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df_free_online&CPNG=Seasonal&adgroup=81-4 -suggested example. 1 set of tempera paint https://www.target.com/p/crayola-2oz-10ct-kids-39-washable-paint-set-classic-colors/-/A-14151839 (suggested example) 1 set of markers with black 2 pencils and erasers 1 cup for paint water 1 paint shirt (If parents need Amazon links to the above supplies, I am happy to provide.)
