1 hour per week. It is not uncommon for class to end before students can finish their work. In these instances, I ask students to finish the work on their own time and bring it to the following class for me to review. This should not take more than a half hour though some students may spend addition time on projects that excite them.Class Experience
In this ongoing class, students are taught one art topic each week. They learn how to apply this knowledge and how masters have applied it throughout the history of art. Each week, a project is begun during class and then finished later when the learners find time to work on it. With the understanding that student schedules can be unpredictable, lessons and projects are designed to be self-contained. Projects do not extend beyond the week in which they are presented. Materials required are common and usually present in a typical home. A list of materials is given well in advance to avoid surprises. You can see the full list of supplies needed for the semester below along with the topics we will be covering. Week of January 9th: "What is Art?" A discussion of why people have always created art and what its purpose is. Materials: Bring art that the student has made and is proud of OR a piece of art they particularly admire.
