Class experience
This is a flexible schedule class. There will be NO LIVE MEETINGS. All interaction will occur inside the Outschool Classroom area. The course materials for the week will be posted in the classroom at the beginning of each week of the course. Each week will study a period of art history and how cats were represented during it. We will learn about the time period and the artworks from it that depict cats as well as the changing role of cats in the lives of humans throughout the ages....
Students will become more familiar with four different periods of art history and the specific criteria that identifies each period. Students will become more familiar with the changing role of felines and humans throughout history. Students will become familiar with creating art projects with the same subject matter in different styles and media. Students will learn constructive criticism skills in evaluating their own work and the work of fellow classmates.
