In this ongoing class, learners will be introduced to a different artist each week. To start class, we will learn and have a discussion about the artist and their work. This will be done largely though a slide show while asking students about what they see. During this portion of class, each learner is given an opportunity to talk. There are a total of 33 different artists planned for this course. Next, we will make artwork of our own inspired by that week's artist. Some weeks, the students will be led in a directed drawing and asked to add creativity to their work wherever they see fit. Once and a while, students will finish a coloring page or will be provided with a drawing prompt based off of that week's artist. In the last 5 minutes of class, students will individually share their work with the class. Some students will need time outside of class to finish their artwork. The following is a week by week breakdown of the artist and art medium covered in upcoming classes: 1/15 Van Gogh painting 1/22 Modrian drawing 1/29 Asawa paper collage 2/5 Dali drawing 2/12 Indiana watercolor painting 2/19 Munch coloring page 2/26 Thiebaud drawing 3/4 Haring drawing 3/11 Kusama painting 3/18 Warhol coloring page 3/25 Chihuly paper sculpture 4/1 Blair paper collage 4/8 Magritte coloring page 4/15 Monet watercolor painting 4/22 Murakami drawing 4/29 Frankenthaler watercolor painting 5/6 Archimboldo drawing with printout 5/13 Klee watercolor painting 5/20 Nevelson drawing 5/27 Kandinsky drawing 6/3 Thomas painting 6/10 Matisse paper collage 6/17 Warhol coloring page 6/24 Burch drawing Class topics for June will be updated the end of May.

I fell in love with art history with in college, and want to share my passion and knowledge with my students.
