There are many artworks we can see or hear the names of and immediately recognize who made them, but how much do you know about those artists? Who were they when they weren't painting, and what happened to them? This ongoing course spans gender, time period, and artistic style to understand the lives of famous European artists. Each meeting, we'll discuss an artist famous throughout the entire world: we'll learn about their childhood and family life, formal and informal education, adult life outside of art, and contribution(s) to the art world. For some artists, we'll also explore the ways their names continue to be seen in pop culture and debunk famous myths that shroud their life in mystery. Through a combination of lecture and discussion questions, learners will explore how these artists earned global fame and continued recognition today. Students will also have the opportunity to appreciate and analyze the greatest masterpieces that each artist completed during their lifetime.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Emeliann and I am a university senior majoring in secondary education in the social sciences, with a minor in history. My specialties lie in American and European history, as well as American government and politics; my interests extend into unconventional (aka "fun") history, art history, and art analysis.
I aim to engage and interest students through a variety of classes that integrate learning and socializing. I have worked with learners, ages 6 to 18, in a variety of professional and volunteer positions, and I continue to work with 11 to 18-year-olds in my academic studies. There is nothing I find more fulfilling than seeing the light of understanding bloom within a student's mind.
To best encourage student learning, I plan on utilizing student-centered and led discussions; I've found that such discussions empower students to take control of their own learning and feel confident in their critical and creative thinking, teamwork, and socialization skills. These discussions also help in developing independence and a sense of educational accountability, vital skills for students of all ages. As a student myself, I recognize the value of time and desire to organize classes that fit a variety of schedules, for both parents and learners. Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, learning is in the hands of the student.
I highly value the work of parents who are active members of their child(ren)'s learning, and I cannot wait to be a part of their educational and academic careers!Reviews
