Beginner Level
In this 3-day camp, young students will listen to the stories and explore famous paintings by 3 great Impressionist artists: Claude Monet, Pierre Renoir, and Mary Cassatt. We will discuss who the Impressionists were and what techniques and ideas made their paintings different. In addition to the stories, students will play games and participate in discussions. In the second portion of the class, they will create open-ended crafts influenced by the stories they heard, the artworks they explored, and the materials they prepared. Day 1. Topic: Discover Monet's Garden Through His Paintings. Day 2. Topic: Loving Paintings of Renoir Day 3. Women and Children in Cassatt's Paintings. 🎨✂️🤩 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.

ALSO, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT FOR THE CRAFT PORTION OF THE CLASS, PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS RECOMMENDED FOR USING SCISSORS AND OTHER MATERIALS. Class is appropriate for (𝐂𝐄𝐅𝐑: B1, B2, C1, C2)

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
