Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
In this weekly art class, young artists will create a fun and exciting new masterpiece with a seasonal theme.  Topics may include seasonal changes in nature, animals, holidays around the world, special places, and other seasonal events.  We will begin each class with a short introduction to our project and art concept of the week.  Then students will follow my step by step directions to draw our artwork of the day.  We will make everything from sunsets to seascapes, animals, still lifes, and more.  Once we have finished drawing, we will paint our pictures with watercolors (though students are welcome to add color with other supplies as well).  While my directions are detailed, I also encourage students to add their own unique touches to make their artwork truly their own.  My goal is for my students to have fun while flexing their artistic muscles and learning some art basics like: watercolor resists, overlapping, pattern, line variety, visual texture, color mixing and much more!  Students are welcome to join at any time as we will create a new project each week.

As students work, I make sure to provide feedback, encouragement, and additional instructions as needed.  If time allows, at the end of class 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 want to continue working on their masterpieces 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!

Supplies Needed:
- 9x12 Thicker white paper or watercolor paper (80lbs. weight or higher is usually strong enough to paint on; I like Canson watercolor or mixed media pads)
- Pencil with eraser
- Black permanent Sharpie marker (must be a permanent marker)
- Oil pastels and/or crayons (non-washable)
- A set of pan watercolors (I like Prang or Crayola because they come with a quality brush, but other brands are fine; please no tubes of watercolor paint as they can be harder for young artist to use)
- Watercolor brush (usually your watercolor set will come with one, make sure it is soft and pliable not stiff and plastic)
- 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.

Learning Goals

Students will explore the elements of art through creating a seasonally themed artwork each week.
Students will gain a mastery of essential art techniques and vocabulary such as: line, shape, landscape, seascape, foreground, background, still life, horizon line, pattern, color mixing, watercolor resist, tints, shades, and overlapping.

I have taught elementary art for over 20 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 I balance guided drawing with creative expression in this class.  I aim to provide positive encouragement and constructive feedback to my students throughout our class time, and I truly hope they enjoy our art club projects each week!
