Beginner Level
🎨 Learners will discover how to use the element of space (depth) in art while diving into plant life cycles. This course is ideal for 3rd-7th graders. 🌳We'll dive deep into the traditional element of space, and then mix it with the life cycle of a plant. 🍋 In this mini nature art course, your learner will learn all about plants through art. Using easy-to-access materials, learners create drawings and projects that reflect the plant-topic of the week. {Class Schedule} Week 1: Two videos/projects teaching your child about the element of space, how to spot it, and how to draw with it. Week 2: Two videos/projects discovering plant life cycles all around us in nature--while also learning to use space in works of art. Week 3: Scavenger hunt video where your child can go outside (or visit a local grocery store if it's too cold out) and gather seeds for the final project. The 2nd video combines everything your student has learned into one final project. {Changing the schedule} Does this schedule not align with your homeschool? No worries! Save the links you receive each week and spread them out over a whole year of school. {How it works} In this class, you get 2 video art lessons per week. That totals to 5 ART VIDEO LESSONS and 1 NATURE SCAVENGER HUNT! I've set up this mini-course to be done within 3 weeks. However, there is SO much content in here that it could easily be spread out into 1-2 months. {Extra info} -Younger students (6-8) are allowed to take this class. However, if your learner does not have a strong drawing hand yet, I would encourage you to be ready to assist or to pair them with an older sibling. -Optional: You can place all the finished drawings and projects into a 3-ring binder (I did!). They're all vertical so it works nicely. This also creates a great resource for future reference. Want more? This is a full nature art course that can be sped-up to fit one semester, or stretched to fit a full year of art.
