This is an ongoing weekly studio art course students will explore a variety of media and techniques with an emphasis on creativity and innovation. Students will receive a weekly prompt and supply list to bring to class and will participate in the making of an art- themed project. Ms. Amy is a certified art instructor and her process-focused projects are meant to reinforce the elements and principles of art, inform learners about the art world in context, and explore activities which will challenge and inspire the potential of imagination. Ms. Amy will encourage students to build community with each other, share ideas, and post the work they make in the classroom which may operate as an online gallery.

Supply List
-Please note that this supply list is not needed for EVERY class. I will send out a weekly email which will indicate the project we are working on and the supplies needed. Supplies that need to be purchased will last well beyond the projects assigned. If you have a small amount of any of the supplies below, it will probably be enough to complete the project. I am doing my best to your supply list a one time investment that will last. I tried to make a list of the supplies that most students need in an typical art classroom with budget in mind. 1 package of construction paper 1 small stack of cardstock thick paper for drawing 1 box of craypas (16 color recommended) 2 glue sticks (in case one goes missing! : ) 1 bottle of white glue 1 pair of scissors 1 tray of at least 8 watercolors 1 small watercolor brush 1 medium watercolor brush 1 large watercolor brush 1 (suggested example) 1 set of markers with black 2 pencils and erasers 1 cup for paint water 1 paint shirt 1 set of tempera paint with black and white (warm and cool colors recommended) In addition, we will be using upcycled material: thin cardboard, food packaging, junk mail- anything paper that you might throw in the recycle bin can be used for at least two of our projects. Start collecting ASAP so you have a lot to choose from! (If parents need Amazon links to the above supplies, I am happy to provide.)
