Class Experience

This 8 week elementary art class gives students the opportunity to explore art making techniques while learning a bit about art history and connecting learning in other subject areas. Each week we will focus on an art element of art and creative technique. Every session will build upon the knowledge of the elements of art and media skills throughout the year. Each week will feature a different piece of inspiration artwork or artist. Although some bits of information may repeat, art projects, inspiration works and creative engagement activities will not.  

Techniques and media covered in this class will include collage, painting, mixed media engagements, printmaking, sculpture and clay. Students will learn about both modern and historical art and artists from around the world. Each class will start by introducing our inspiration art and artists along with the technique.  Students will be guided through creating a piece of art based on our inspiration art piece however each student's work will remain uniquely individual.
