Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 2
This semester's self-paced course will provide 15 different art units with projects targeted for 1st or 2nd grade students.  Each unit will cover a different artist, art movement, and/ or art culture and will teach students how to manipulate various art media, both 2D and 3D, better preparing students for upper elementary art.  This course is also designed to meet the visual art state standards in the U.S.

Once the course begins, students will either be given 1 unit every week which will include the learning goals and final project if paying per week or given all 15 units if paying for the entire course upfront.   Students will start each unit by learning about its art history portion.  The art history portion will be followed by an instructional video that will show students how to finish the project with step-by-step instructions.  The video will feature me modeling each step.  A step-by-step guide with instructions and images will also be provided as a PDF, so students can print out the steps and/ or view them electronically as well while following along with the video.  While completing the project, students will also learn how to manipulate the major art media of drawing, painting, and clay.

At the end of the units, students will review concepts through various activities. After completing each project, students will be asked to post a photo of their finished project on the class page for positive feedback.  Feedback will be given within two school days of the student’s post.
