"We cannot measure the influence that one or another artist has upon the child’s sense of beauty, upon his power of seeing, as in a picture, the common sights of life; he is enriched more than we know in having really looked at even a single picture." Charlotte Mason

This is an Flexible Schedule Class, meaning your artist can access lesson materials and complete projects at their own pace, and according to their own schedule.  

In Charlotte Mason style, we will study Impressionist artist Edgar Dega for 4 consecutive weeks, but each week will be an independant art lesson.  Each lesson will be posted in the Classroom on Mondays, with a link to a private Nearpod presentation.  Each lesson will consist of time learning about a particular artist, their style, their life, and studying a work of art from that artist.  Artists will follow a step by step art lesson video creating an art piece inspired by the artwork studied.  In each lesson artists will learn techniques related to beginning fundemental art techniques, as well as elements of art and principles of design.  

Edgar Dega is an Impressionist artist.  We will spend each week studying one of hispieces. 
Week 1: Dance Class at the Opera
Week 2: The Millinery Shop
Week 3: The Star Dance on Stage
Week 4: At the Stables Horse and Dog

Interaction with Ms. Britain and the other learners in this class is required to make our time together more engaging.  That interaction will take place here in the Outschool classroom.  
Monday: I will post the weekly instructional video so you can start drawing and painting!
Friday: Art Show Day! Even though you can work at your own pace on these projects, it is a lot of fun to upload your work by Fridays for an Art Show.  When you upload your art to the classroom artists will be encouraged to leave positive comments on their classmate's work, and ask questions. I will post on these as well, including personalized video feedback on your artwork.
