US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner Level
Learners will be introduced to some great contemporary artists (Yayoi Kusama, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Banksy, Mark Bradford, James Turrell, Kara Walker and Hannah van Bart to name a few), and have opportunity to create their own works of art using inspiration and information gained from these artists. This self-paced course combines art appreciation and art making for the child that is developmentally appropriate. In the first portion of each lesson, the power-points delve into artists lives, and look at some of their current artwork and practices as well as noteworthy pieces. Learners are reminded to take notes on information gained for short quizzes that are presented throughout the course to evaluate their understanding of key artistic practices, work and current contributions associated from these artists. Time is allocated each lesson for children to create their own works of art, inspired by the contemporary artists highlighted. This course offers a variation of art-making exploration, such as: sculpture, abstract drawing and painting, collage techniques, small scale installation and mixed media work. Each lesson will focus on one contemporary artist, and use various art materials, such as acrylics, oil pastels and charcoal pencils, canvases, paper and air-dry clay. A resource list for possible supplies will be provided each week as well as suggested materials to use for art projects. A certificate of completion is provided upon request after this course. Please keep in mind this is a self-paced course, and your learner can complete the lessons on a schedule that works best for them. I will be available via email to contact for any questions or help along the way. I will try my best to respond to and return emails within a week.
Learning Goals
