Class Experience

Does your child say they are "bad" at creating art, but really love it? In this session I will show your child how to build their confidence of creating art through using just a circle. I will begin by reading the story "The Dot." We will follow this with a short discussion and then move into creating. This will start as a guided drawing technigue and then will move on to creating more individual pieces of artwork. At the end we will all share our art with each other. If there is time left over, we will watch a fun animation of The Dot.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to find confidence while engaging in art. They will see that "happy mistakes" can turn into the best pictures! Students will also learn social skills as they engage in conversations of the book as well as learning how to share their artwork with their peers.
