Homework Offered
This class flexible course, so you do all the projects on your own schedule. Each project will take about an hour to complete, while some may need extra drying time or drying time in between steps.Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
White paper White cardstock Black paper Markers, colored pencils, crayons Watercolor paint and supplies to paint (I suggest tube water colors with different shades or a dry pallet with more than the basic colors) Qtips Tempera paint and supplies to paint Two small magnets and hot glue A large craft stick Ability to print a few things oil pastels gold acrylic paint
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Young students may need help cutting and will need supervision with art supplies so that your area stays clean-ish. I wouldn't suggest leaving the room while your child has paint, scissors, glue, etc. The magnets will need hot glue, which should be done by the adult only. Some materials may pose a choking hazard.
Videos I made are hosted through Youtube and embedded in the classroom as a link.
