includedClass Experience
This 15 week flexible schedule art class will have videos hosted through Youtube (link only) of me teaching. You will be able to access the link from the Outschool classroom. This class is intended to be fun and introduce some basic art principals and artists. Some of the projects are more child led and some are projects you follow along with the video to complete. This class will require you to have some art supplies that you may need to purchase. Supplies will be listed below. For each class students will be asked to watch the video and complete the art project. Students should post their creations in the classroom for their classmates to see. We will comment on each other's artwork, share, and give feedback. The 15 project titles are: Swirly sky trees: Use painted paper to make a Van Gough-ish sky with evergreen trees in the foreground. This project is a collage style. Northern lights polar bears: This project uses soft chalk pastels or neon pastels to make the northern lights Gnomes: A huge kid pleaser, this project uses shaving cream and glue to make the gnome's beard.
