Enhance your art smarts with this quick ongoing class where we enjoy masterpieces of sculpture from great artists.  During class, I will share some background information about the artist and the culture in which they lived.  Students will then study the sculpture closely before I remove it from view and we discuss our observations.  After this, we will look at the sculpture again and then either discuss or sketch* a second round of observations.  Please note that this class is very interactive and it is important that the students not only participate fully, but also leave their cameras and microphones on.  While I require participation, there are no wrong answers and every observation is valued.  

"We aim at putting the children in touch with the great artist minds of all ages.  We want to open their eyes and minds to appreciate the masterpieces."  (The Parent's Review)

*Focus is not on the artistic quality of student sketches but on reproducing loosely any observations they made.  Stick figures and sloppy sketches are normal here!
