Each day in this class students will learn about a famous landmark from around the world and create an artwork inspired by it. We will begin our class with a discussion of each architectural landmark. Then I will lead students through a step by step demonstration of how to make their own masterpieces. Throughout the process students are encouraged to add their own creative touches to their artworks. As students work, I always make sure to provide feedback, encouragement, and additional instructions as needed. If time allows our young artists will have the opportunity to share their artwork with their classmates. **Although each demonstration will be finished by the end of class, students may need or wish to continue working on their masterpiece after we have signed off for the day. Everyone works at a different speed, and it's better to take our time than to rush! Day 1: The Eiffel Tower Day 2: Chichen Itza Day 3: Taj Mahal Day 4: The Great Sphinx and Egyptian Pyramids Supplies Needed Each Day: - 9x12 Thicker white paper suitable for painting (80lb weight or higher; I like Canson (100510941) XL Series Watercolor Pad, 9" x 12", Fold-Over Cover, 30 Sheets, but you may use whatever paper you find best) - Pencil with eraser - Crayons or oil pastels - Sharpie or other black permanent marker - Watercolor set (Prang or Crayola recommended) - Watercolor brush - Container with water (a container with a wider base or a bowl is less likely to spill) - Paper towels **You may also want a piece of poster board or large paper to cover the work area.

I have taught elementary art for over 16 years and each of my lessons is developed thoughtfully and practiced ahead of time, keeping in mind student skill level and interests. I am passionate about helping young artists find their unique artistic voices and therefore balance guided drawing with creative expression in this lesson. I provide positive encouragement to students throughout our class time and hope they enjoy this project as much as I do. Reviews
