Beginner Level
My classes will always remain secular and appropriate for young children. This class runs year round, but each class can stand alone, i.e. students can join or leave at any time without needing additional information. Come back to this listing monthly to see updated pictures and descriptions of upcoming sessions. In art, "There are no mistakes, just happy accidents." ~Bob Ross Please join me, Mrs. Christina, weekly for my art and social club. I always complete the artwork along with the children using an overhead camera that allows them to see what I am doing every step of the way. I truly believe that art is in the eye of the beholder and that while I guide learners through a directed drawing or art project, I encourage each child to make their work unique and cherish the differences in each piece of art presented at the end of class. Students meet once per week starting in June. *Week of June 2nd - Self-Portrait with Reflective Sunglasses *Week of June 9th - Sea Turtles *Week of June 16th - Sea Horses *Week of June 23rd - Puffer Fish Stay tuned for more classes... This class will meet live for 40 minutes 1 time per week and is intended for young learners ages 6 to 10 years old. I love to engage my students with the Math skills needed to create art and fun Scientific facts about the subject of our art. Art should tell a story and this conversation helps to bring their work to life. Additionally, we will learn about the elements of art as we create a fun directed drawing for each of our projects. Directed drawings are step-by-step instructions modeled by the teacher to help young artists complete a picture. Students will then be able to creatively add color to each of their projects. (Students may need some extra time outside of class to finish their work.) The benefits of directed drawing include enhanced listening skills, following directions, and fine motor development. Students will also have an introduction/review of vocabulary related to art.
Learning Goals
We will work on directed drawings centered around seasonal and holiday themes while also using Math and the Elements of Art to create. We will also discuss fun Science facts related to the subject of our Art.
