In this class, students will learn the fun beginnings of how to create an Art Journal! We will start by creating 2 pages, with a bright theme using shapes, patterns, and motifs. Students will learn how to create motifs and re-occurring patterns, and how to layer with watercolors. They'll learn about mixing media and will be always encouraged to experiment and make their own artistic choices. Once the project is complete students can optionally share and talk through their art! Although the idea is to create pages in an existing Art Journal, students do not need to have one to enjoy this class, single sheets of paper are totally great! I'll also cover how to bind single sheets together with a hole punch and a tie! My teaching style is mellow, and calm, and my classes are a safe space for kids to explore their creativity with no right or wrong answers. Learners may ask questions, or interact with each other if comfortable. No prior art experience is necessary. - Parents if you don't see a time that works for you request it!
Learning Goals
Students will learn there is no right or wrong way to create art. Students will learn to make creative choices, and how to layer and create patterned motifs.
