Some students may wish to use extra time to finish their artworks.Class Experience
Future projects will be inspired by the following artworks May 2-6: "Mount Baker, Washington," Albert Bierstadt, 1891 May 9-13: "Woman in a Hat," Getchen Woodman Rogers, 1915 May 16-20: "Jonah and the Whale," Pieter Lastman, 1621 (This artwork will be slightly edited for class.) May 23- 27: "The Scream," Edvard Munch, 1893 Each week, students will be introduced to an artist or art movement. We'll learn a bit about the artists, characteristics of their work, and use their style to inspire our own artworks! Students will follow along with a teacher-led demonstration to create their own miniature masterpieces. Together, we will create a beautiful artwork, step-by-step. Although specific instruction will be provided, students are encouraged to add their own unique, creative details to their paintings & drawings. Throughout the weeks, we will cover a range of artistic techniques and subjects, which students can apply to artworks they create on their own! **Although each demonstration will be finished by the end of class, students who work more slowly may need or wish to continue drawing after we have signed off for the day. Everyone works at a different speed, and it's better to take our time than to rush! ***************************************** To see more of Ms. Kristy's classes, visit my teacher profile here: https://outschool.com/teachers/Kristine-Mankin#us3u0MdGLD
Learning Goals
Students will learn and practice drawing strategies, oil pastel techniques, and watercolor painting techniques. We will practice drawing and painting with a wide range of styles and subjects. We will learn about the characteristics of a new artist/artwork/art movement each week, and apply them to the artworks we create together.

As a traditional classroom teacher, many of the lessons I designed were inspired by the work of master artists throughout history. This class combines all of my very favorite things: artist studies, art history, drawing, painting, and still leaves room for each student's unique creative spark. I'm excited to share these quick, fun lessons with my students!Reviews
