In this class we will look at the book, If Picasso Went to the Sea by Eric Gibbons. As we go through the book we will be comparing original works of art with the book's reimagined sea/ocean related illustrations. While comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences between the pictures, the students will be introduced to many different artists and different art styles such as realism, expressionism and surrealism as well as different art mediums (painting, sculpture, photography etc.). They will be able to discuss what they like about the paintings and what emotions the works of art evoke in them. After our discussion each student will create their own sea related masterpieces. They can choose whatever art style they like and everyone will have the opportunity to share their masterpieces with the class! *No reading is required of the student.
Learning Goals
Students will be introduced to multiple different art styles as well as learn about the actual artists. They will be shown many classic works of art and their reimagined sea/ocean-themed illustrations. Students will learn to look at art critically and talk about what they see and feel and what the artist may have been trying to elicit from their work. Students will take what they have learned from the art and put it into their own work when they create their own sea creatures!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of California Riverside
Hi! I love to teach classes that are fun and promote discussion and creativity. In all of my classes I mix critical thinking with out of the box thinking so that the kids learn something brand new! I find the best way to do this is by using books, video games, trivia and other interactive components to keep them engaged and wanting to learn.
My passion for critical thought stems from my degree in Philosophy. The integration of pop culture in my classes is rooted in a lifetime of toy collecting, video game playing, and during my time as a staff writer for an online comic book review site. Over the past five years I have created community-based, pop-up craft classes for parents and children that integrate culture and thought, and I am excited about the opportunity to share these types of activities with my students!
Outside of teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband, son and three cats! I like online gaming and spending a lot of time crafting.Reviews
