Explore the World Through Art: Art and Geography Connection

In this flexible schedule class, students will have the luxury of learning and creating whenever it is convenient for them! The class offers a series of prerecorded videos that enrolled learners  will have access to, as well as instructional handouts, individualized assessments of their work and the opportunity to share their work with fellow learners. The instructor, Ms. Kristen, will check in daily to answer any questions and provide feedback to all learners. 

Each detailed, easy to follow video will be dedicated to one art lesson. Videos are uploaded on the same day of each week and the corresponding project will be due 6 days after. The time frame for submitting lessons is flexible. The learners will have a collection of art inspired by the follow places:


*Paris, France
*Sydney, Australia
*England
*South America
*Africa
*Egypt
*India
*China
*Canada
*USA

The learners will draw, paint, work with new and exciting art mediums, and learn about different elements and principles of art.  Symmetry, architecture, and how to create depth in a drawing will also be discussed.

Connections to geography and history will be emphasized in each lesson as we discuss different landmarks and areas of the world. 

Participation in the classroom discussion will be required to check for proper understanding and to promote a sense of community among enrolled learners. 


Why a flex class? 
* Flexible schedule classes are wonderful for families who have busy schedules or are sometimes unable to commit to a certain day or time. 
* Learners from all time zones may participate 
* Learners may work at their own pace. Videos may be paused or rewatched at any time.

* gain confidence
* learn to navigate through mistakes
* experience stress relief 
* and so much more!
