In this Flexible Class you will create art through the ages and learn some art History.

Please note that this class does not meet live, it is a flexible class, so lessons are pre-recorded.

If your child is below or above the age range that’s fine just let me know when you sign up.  For younger children you may need to help them.

Each week I will post my interactive classroom, which will include a slide show and information about the history of the art we will create, an Art demonstration, so you can create your own beautiful masterpiece.

I will post fun puzzles for you to do whilst interacting with the other learners, on what you have learnt. Finished art work should be posted each week on the classroom. Participation is essential to ensure proper understanding of the materials and to promote a sense of community in class. You can post polite comments on each others artwork.

Here is a breakdown of what you will do each week:-
