Class Experience

In this 5 day summer camp we will be creating something new each day. We will be discovering and experimenting with all of the elements of art such as line, form, color, texture, shape, and space. We will be using minimal supplies so that it is easy to prepare for each day. In fact, most or all of the supplies are things that you already have at home. I am enthusiastic about creating art and patient when teaching. Each student learns at their own pace and I do everything that I can to make sure that each student feels successful. I have taught Kindergarten through 6th grade art in person and on line so I am very comfortable with the format. All learners are welcome! Everyone can create beautiful art regardless of their creative ability! 
Monday - Learn how to draw a patterned fish - In this lesson, I will be doing a step by step lesson on how to draw a patterned fish. Students will need paper, a pencil, and something to color with. Colored pencils work great for this lesson! Element of art focus - color, line, pattern, and form
Tuesday - Make animals out of numbers - In this class, students will learn how to create animals out of the numbers 6-10. So simple but yet so creative! The same supplies are needed for this day. Element of art focus - color, line, and form
Wednesday - Learn how to make a mini camouflage abstract design!  In this lesson, learners will be able to create an abstract design with a piece of packaging cut from any grocery item such as a cereal box, macaroni and cheese box, pop tart box, etc. Students will cut a 3 to 4-inch square from any box from their kitchen and glue it in the center of their page. We will then 'camouflage' their piece with surrounding abstract art.  The students LOVE this activity. The supplies needed for this class are a 3 to 4-inch square cut from a thin cardboard container, markers, and paper. Element of art focus - form, line, and space
Thursday - Reflective cities using using warm and cool colors - In this lesson, students will be able to create reflective buildings  and learn and understand the difference between warm and cool colors. I will be doing a directed draw of the buildings and background while discussing warm and cool colors. There is so much flexibility with this lesson and learners can get as creative as they would like! The supplies for this lesson are paper (thick if possible), a black crayon, ruler or straight edge, water colors, and a paint brush. If water colors aren't available,  then crayons, markers, or colored pencils will work just fine! - Element of art focus - Line, form, and color
Friday - Learn how to create abstract art! - In this lesson, I will be showing the learners how to create abstract art using a crayon resist method incorporated with water color.  The supplies needed will be construction paper or water color paper, water color, paintbrush, and crayons. Element of art focus - form, line, and color

Teacher expertise and credentials
Arizona Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hi! My name is Jana Beckstead and I have been teaching for 21 years. I started my career teaching 3rd grade for 2 years and then moved on to teach 2nd grade for 5 years. Following that, I taught Kindergarten (5 years), 4th grade (5 years), and Kindergarten through 6th grade art (3 years). During the height of the pandemic, I taught Kindergarten through 6th grade virtually. This year I am teaching 7th and 8th grade reading and writing in middle school. I also have 5 children of my own and 2 grandchildren. My husband is in the military and we also have 4 sweet dogs and a bearded dragon named Mona. 

I graduated from Arizona State University with my Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Studies. I worked for a newspaper at that time in advertising. When my children started school, I myself went back to school and received my Post Bachelor Certification in k-8 education. I also received my Early Elementary endorsement, Structured English Immersion Endorsement, and Art Endorsement. Along with my certification, I have attended hundreds of hours of professional development in the school district that I teach in. I absolutely love teaching; it is my passion. I can't wait to share my knowledge and creative abilities with your children through the love of reading and art.
