Class Experience

Have you heard of artists like Vincent Van Gogh, Georgia O'Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, and Franz Marc? Their artwork is famous! We see their work on a variety of surfaces and it's been imitated for many years. Clearly, there is something very appealing about their work! 

In each class, we will look at a famous work of art to observe how the artist made such beautiful and memorable art. We will briefly discuss what we see and decide how to imitate aspects of his or her art. Each student will be guided through drawing and coloring their own art in the style of the featured artist of that day, though I will focus more heavily on the ideas and creativity than detailed pastel use. For this camp, they will use oil pastels or chalk pastels to get vivid colors in their drawings.

Day One: Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night Over the Rhone" (The other Starry Night)
Day Two: Georgia O'Keeffe's "Two Calla Lilies on Pink"
Day Three: Pablo Picasso's "Three Musicians"
Day Four: Franz Marc's "Blue Horse I"

If time permits, we will have "compliment time" where each student can show off his or her work to the class. As a rule, I only allow positive and encouraging comments in class, and I help the students to focus on what they can do rather than comparing with each other. If a student doesn't feel like sharing, they do not have to participate, but I will still ask them a question or two about their art in order to give them positive encouragement.

I cannot wait to see all of the beautiful masterpieces we create together!

Learning Goals

Students will discuss a piece of art by the featured artist each day and learn to incorporate some of the distinguishing features of that masterpiece into their own art. If there is time, they will also be guided in exchanging compliments graciously.

Other Details

Supply List
Ideally, I would love for every student to have various colors of construction paper, white paper, a pencil, and oil pastels to make the colors really "pop." 

If these supplies are not available, a student could use white paper with chalk pastels, crayons, or markers.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Auburn University
Hello! My name is Tina Kaye Houston. I love helping people learn new things! Locally, I've taught art classes that are based on studying the masterpieces by a variety of artists. I have tutored many students in math over the years, and I especially love Algebra and Trigonometry. I've also taught music and movement classes, and I've coordinated and administered standardized testing. I previously taught English to Chinese students online for nearly three years, and we are in our 22nd year as a homeschool family. Two of our children have graduated, and we still have a few years with our youngest child. I'm a scout leader, and I sing in a band. I spent most of my childhood reading books and learning crafts, so I'm good at making things and I love to read. I am a grammar nerd, too, and I love helping students to use good grammar without feeling overwhelmed by rules.  What I'm the most passionate about, though, encouraging others to do their best. I have so many ideas, and I really look forward to meeting the needs of a variety of students and their families! I can't wait to meet you and explore new things together!

PLEASE NOTE: In addition to teaching my own classes here, I teach classes with "Just Help Me Learn LLC" here on Outschool. You can find Daily Grammar and other classes that I teach at https://outschool.com/teachers/Phyllis-Bixler Just look for which teacher is listed for each class time.

Class Policies:

1) If a class is small or has especially talkative students, we may end a little earlier or later, but I will always try to end on time. 

2) If a scheduled class does not meet the minimum enrollment, I will contact the parent approximately 24 hours before class time to offer to transfer their learner to a new day and time. If requested, I may choose to teach the class at the original time. 

3) Classes will begin on time, even if all learners are not yet present in the classroom. To respect the time of the learners in the class, I will contact absent learners after class to see if they had technical issues or other challenges. 

4) If no learners are present in the classroom, I will wait 10 minutes into the scheduled time before exiting the classroom. 

5) If I am late because of having technical challenges myself, I will offer to stay late or transfer learners to a new session.

6) I expect that learners will treat each other kindly in class and show respect for everyone present. I treat others the way I want to be treated, and I expect the same in return.
