Class Experience
Join me this summer for a FLEX format Visual Arts Summer Camp! We will spend 9 weeks having a blast making art together. We will cover foundational techniques and no prior knowledge is necessary. Each week, students can expect to dedicate about 3 hours of time to complete the summer camp activities and artwork. We will work through an integrated curriculum where students learn new art mediums (painting, drawing, weaving, etc) while also being introduced to art history and vocabulary. Your student will finish the summer having made lots of beautiful artwork and having a clear vocabulary to explain the processes and artistic approaches. We will work through the following units: Unit 1: Color Theory & Painting (2 Weeks) Unit 2: Drawing Portfolio (4 Weeks) Unit 3: Weaving (3 Weeks) To start off each week, students will complete a mini Art History activity and learn an Element of Art or Principle of Design. Next, students will work through the summer camp classwork according to the units above. In each unit, the students will be introduced to a new art medium, practice with an introduction activity, and then plan and create a final creative project. Lessons are conducted with Nearpod. In Nearpod lessons, students will view slides and video demonstrations, respond to writing prompts, submit video reactions, take quizzes, etc. Students will interact with each other as they work through the lesson by viewing other's responses, competing in games, and commenting on each other's work. Students will also submit final projects by posting photos in our OutSchool classroom. Each student will reflect on their own work by completing guided critique questions for each unit. Students are encouraged to comment on each other’s work to cheer their classmates on. I will be available M-F each week to answer questions, provide support, or give feedback about in-progress work. Students can request a live zoom meeting with me for support, although these are not required. Please message me with any questions. I look forward to enjoying the summer together!
