Class Experience

During this 5 day class, students will be taught how to create their very own castle drawing and learn about castles built throughout history. We will also discuss the principles of design (Harmony, Unity, Pattern, Variety, Emphasis, Scale, Contrast, Balance) and display an example of each principle in the castle rooms. We will learn how to make dragons, kings, queens, knights and much more! 

This project will last 5 days, here is the breakdown:
Day 1 - Learn about Castles! Build the frame and add the rooms to your castle. 
Day 2 - Learn about the Principles of Design (Pattern, Variety, Contrast) and add an example in 3 of your rooms.
Day 3 - Learn about the Principles of Design (Harmony, Emphasis, Scale) and add an example in 3 of your rooms.
Day 4 - Learn about the Principles of Design (Balance, Unity) and add an example in 2 of your rooms.
Day 5 - Finalize and Color your Drawing! Color your artwork using your choice of markers, crayons, watercolor or colored pencils.

As the teacher, I will guide the students step-by-step through each process and draw alongside them. In the materials section below, you can find everything that you will need for this class.

Learning Goals

Students will discover how castle designs have changed over history. They will learn about the principles of art and allow students to understand contrast, harmony, unity, balance and other principles of art. Students will be able to look at their own artwork and know what visual principles they need to use in order to communicate their message or create an effect to help convey their intent.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Nikki and I am a teacher of many things! I am passionate about art, video games, animation, technology and leadership. I have a college degree in animation.. how COOL is that!? 

My classroom is very relaxed and even though all of my lessons have structure, everyone is free to make creative choices and customize their projects any way they like. My teaching style is very patient, very kind and I like to make students laugh, smile and have fun learning.

When I'm not teaching, I play video games with my family. I have two kids - ages 15 and 6 and a cat. But my cat doesn't play video games.. he doesn't have thumbs! :) Our favorite games to play are:
 -- Minecraft
 -- Roblox
 -- Mario
 -- Among Us
Just to name a few ;)

This is me! Hope to see you in the classroom soon!
