This ongoing upper elementary & middle grades 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 and medium or technique that is inspired by an artwork or artist. Techniques and media covered in this class will include watercolor, collage, mixed media engagements, printmaking, sculpture and clay. Students will learn about a diversified lot of both modern and historical artists and their art 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 students work will remain uniquely individual. Ms. Stephanie uses are variety topics including nature, outer space, architecture, animals, and more to keep class kids interested and challenged with techniques that can be made more or less challenging based on individual learners ages and current ability levels. Each week, needed art supplies will be uploaded into the classroom, however a general list is provided here for your convenience as you plan and prepare. #creative We are taking a trip around the world for part of 2024 January: France Poland Sweden Nordic Designs February: Russia China Japan March Japan Australia New Zealand India April

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents, because this class takes a deeper dive into the lives and art of artist as well as creative making techniques, it's possible some weeks students will finish work outside of class. In an effort to build internal motivation to complete the works and both written and oral presentation skills, opportunities will be given to share both in the live classroom or via the classroom comments. Although this is encouraged, like other opportunities for communication in class, it is never required.
Also, art making can be messy business, please dress for mess and cover work surfaces. Thanks!
