Class experience
Travel is AMAZING, but not everyone traverse the country to see the Golden Gate Bridge, or cross the ocean to see the Taj Mahal. If we can't go there (and even when we can), why not (also) learn about it through ART?! * * * * This class is roughly divided into two parts: Part 1: - We look at pictures of the week's spotlighted landmark. Students can share their first impressions as they are comfortable, and if I have personal stories (my family loves to travel!) I'll share those, too....
Students will learn to recognize and understand the importance of 15 of the most iconic world landmarks and gain valuable artistic skills that can be utilized both to underscore their geographical learning, but also in future artistic endeavors. The full term of this class could be a social studies, geography, or art unit in a homeschool, but is equally accessible to the student who wants to pop in and learn about and draw a specific landmark.
All classes will require art paper (sturdy, multimedia art paper is best but copy paper will also work), a pencil, an eraser, and a black marker/Sharpie. Students may use whatever they wish to add color their drawings, which may include crayons, colored pencils, alcohol markers (a personal favorite!), oil pastels, or watercolor paints.
Throughout the class, students will view photos of the landmarks we are studying, primary sources relating to them, where applicable (for instance, original letters regarding the construction of the Eiffel Tower), and whenever possible, beautiful artistic renditions of landmarks (properly cited). The literary sources used to create content for this class are as follows: "100 Landmarks of the World: A Journey to the Most Fascinating Landmarks Around the Globe" by Parragon Books "The Most Famous Landmarks in the World: History and Curiosities Explained for Children and Adults" by Samuel John
