Beginner Level
In this class, students will learn about one of Picasso's great passions: collecting... junk. They will also discover how Picasso with the power of his imagination made a new life for his found objects by creating the most unusual sculptures. We will discuss how repurposing junk could be good for the world in more than one way. We will "spy" everyday objects in some of Picasso's most famous sculptures. In the second part of the class, students will be invited to create their sculptures with recyclable objects. 🎨✂️🤩 My goal is threefold: to familiarize children with famous works of art, to inspire creativity, and to make kids realize that they are artists who can make their own choices about their creations.

ALSO, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT FOR THE CRAFT PORTION OF THE CLASS, PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS REQUIRED FOR YOUNGER STUDENTS (AGES 4-5) AND RECOMMENDED FOR OLDER ONES (AGES 6-7) DUE TO USE OF SCISSORS AND OTHER MATERIALS.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia with bachelor degree in Psychology. Also, I studied Early Childhood Education in Israel and Ukraine.
Before I started teaching on Outschool, I've being teaching creativity classes inspired by classical music and fine art in afternoon preschool program working with Pre-K through 2 Grade children. Earlier, I was a homeschooling mom for 7 years.
I believe that childhood is the best time to inspire human creativity. By regularly exposing children to works of art and classical music as well as helping kids to process their experiences through games, crafts, and dramatic play, adults have an opportunity to cultivate their creativity.
I LOVE reading books in general and children's literature in particular. I think there are so many great and beautiful kids' books waiting to be discovered. I also love co-creating with the kids: bouncing my ideas of theirs.Reviews
