Ms. Stephanie has created this small, weekly ongoing art class for first and second graders based on her incredibly popular Kindergarten Art. Each week Ms. Stephanie will lead students through a new and exciting art lesson. Fabulous Firsties and Super Seconds will expand their knowledge of art, make connection to reading, math and science through art and expand their creative experiences in this class. Adults can also expect learners to show growth in their fine motor skills, craftsmanship, attention to details and continue to grow their language and social skills as the class progresses. Each week Ms. Stephanie will lead students through an opening exercise to help us focus and set intentions for our creative making time together. Then, we will dive right into our learning activity inspired by 2-3 artworks by our inspiration artist & focused on a particular element of the week. Ms. Stephanie uses visuals, spoken and hand signs as well as the screen share and physical demonstration techniques to help learners of all learning styles. At the end of class each student will have the opportunity to show and share their work as they are willing and comfortable doing so.

Supply List
Each week specific supplies will be uploaded to the classroom Sunday evening so that student and adults have the opportunity to arrive prepared with specific supplies each weeks class. Below is a general list of art supplies that are widely used in class. brightly colored construction paper mixed media paper drawing paper watercolor paint tempera paint a variety of size and types of brushes (daubers, foam brushes, round or flat paint brushes) glue sticks (I recommend UHU) glue bottle scissors crayons oil pastels chalk pastels or sidewalk chalk model magic washable markers black permanent marker (I promise, I will teach them how to use this properly when needed) and if you're feeling very brave....glitter! Occasionally I'll offer a unique lesson that requires supplies not on this list (for example, craft foam or cardboard). I will announce that supplies two weeks in advance to provide ample time to secure the supply.
