Description

Class Experience

Delve into the world of poetry by reading a poem and then transforming it into a work of art. Together, we will read and discuss the poem, Trees, by Joyce Kilmer. 

In this class, students will learn:

- Type of poem and pentameter
- Vocabulary words 
- Imagery
- Identifying mood and setting
- Watercolor painting techniques

After our discussion, students will be given time to paint a watercolor painting that is inspired by the poem. I will be demonstrating different watercolor techniques...

These classes are a great way to introduce poetry and the arts to your student. I am a professional artist and teach painting classes regularly online and locally. I am passionate about poetry and art; I love to share my favorite poems with young ones and watch them discover their own unique painting style as well.

  1 file available upon enrollment
A printout of the poem is provided but it is not necessary to print out unless it is helpful to the student. Students will need their own set of watercolor paints, and brushes in several different sizes. They will also need a piece of watercolor paper (note: watercolor paper is different from drawing paper. It is much thicker and better suited for watercolor paints. A pad of Canson XL Watercolor paper is available at Walmart and Amazon for about $5-6) or a small canvas. Students will also need a cup of water and a few dry paper towels.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
