Beginner Level
This fun weekly art class is perfect for a full art curriculum for homeschoolers or any young artist seeking art enrichment with a variety of art media! Over six weeks, learners will explore a variety of famous artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Vincent Van Gogh, Greg Mike, and James Rizzi and learn many new art techniques while creating their own drawings, paintings, collages and sculptures! This course is "Level 4" in the series of art classes that I offer, but it is not necessary for a student to have already taken "Level 1, 2, or 3" before participating in this course! You may enroll in a different level before or after this class to complete a full semester or more of high quality art education. In this Level 4 class, students will complete a cityscape inspired by Van Gogh and James Rizzi with a fun twist, an abstract painting inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe, a "Loud Mouth" collage inspired by Greg Mike and clay turtles and snails using coil and pinch pot techniques. These projects introduce and reinforce art history, vocabulary and artistic skills that form a strong foundation of knowledge for young artists to progress in their creative development. I have designed these lessons in conjunction with my other classes to provide learners with a comprehensive art curriculum from ages 5-15 that is fun, process-oriented, and fosters personal expression and creativity! I focus on building skills, self-confidence, and personal artistic expression in all of my classes. My teaching style is fun, easy going, patient and encouraging and all levels of artistic ability and experience are welcome and celebrated!
Learning Goals
Learners will explore a variety of artists and art forms such as drawing, painting, sculpture and collages as well as the elements of art in order to form a strong foundation of artistic knowledge and foster their personal creative development.
