Description
Class Experience
In this 4-week class, learners will be introduced to one of four black artists, Alma Thomas, Kehinde Wily, Faith Ringgold, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. To start class, we will learn and have a discussion about the artist and their work. This will be done largely though a slide show while asking students about what they see.

Students will be introduced to different artists and art movements. Students will continue to develop skills in artistic expression, artistic decision making, and fine motor skills.
