Class Experience
Art Across the USA Learn about United States art history, explore artists from each of the 50 states, and create your own art inspired by their work. To start class, students will learn about an artist, a style of art, or a group of artists that comes from that state. This will be done largely though a slide show while asking students about what they see. During this portion, each learner is given an opportunity to talk. The artists we cover will range from art of the Native Americans,...
Students will learn about different artists and gain exposure to different types of artwork. Students will continue to develop skills in artistic expression, and artistic decision making. Students will gain skills in different art mediums such as drawing, painting, collage, and weaving.
The two things I love most in life is art and teaching! I have a degree in art education and have lots of experience working with young students. I think that basic understanding of art techniques and theories are important things that students should learn to not only further their art skills but also to see the beauty in the world around them!
Students may need time outside of class to finish their artwork.
