In this three-day camp, young students will listen to the stories and explore famous paintings by Arcimboldo, sculptures by Picasso, and architecture by Gaudi. The kids will enjoy discovering unconventional ideas in creations by these three great masters: • Arcimboldo's portraits made of unusual items • Picasso's sculptures made of junk that he collected • Gaudi's architecture inspired by nature and its shapes In addition to the stories, students will play games and participate in discussions. In the second portion of the class, kids will create open-ended crafts influenced by the ideas of the artworks they explored and the materials they prepared. Day 1: Arcimboldo's Unusual Portraits Day 2: Picasso's Sculptures Made of Junk Day 3: Discovering Nature in Gaudi's Buildings. 🎨✂️🤩 My goal is threefold: to familiarize children with famous works of art, to inspire creativity, and to make kids realize that they are artists who can make their own choices about their creations.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia with bachelor degree in Psychology. Also, I studied Early Childhood Education in Israel and Ukraine.
Before I started teaching on Outschool, I've being teaching creativity classes inspired by classical music and fine art in afternoon preschool program working with Pre-K through 2 Grade children. Earlier, I was a homeschooling mom for 7 years.
I believe that childhood is the best time to inspire human creativity. By regularly exposing children to works of art and classical music as well as helping kids to process their experiences through games, crafts, and dramatic play, adults have an opportunity to cultivate their creativity.
I LOVE reading books in general and children's literature in particular. I think there are so many great and beautiful kids' books waiting to be discovered. I also love co-creating with the kids: bouncing my ideas of theirs.Reviews
