Description

Class Experience

Change the way you see the world!  In this class we will expand our innate skills of visual perception to see the natural world with the eyes of an artist. Great artists, from El Greco to Renoir, J.M.W. Turner to Paul Cezanne, see the world differently, with an intense acuity. We will learn to do the same, exploring how perception can impact artistic creation and creativity.   Studying different natural phenomena, students will have the opportunity to transform their own powers of observation...

Learners will expand their critical thinking and observational skills to truly engage with the visual world and give them the confidence to appreciate all art going forward.

Trained in art history at The University of Michigan, I successfully created, and for several years taught, a full high school level art history class.

 A listing of all art works and artists considered in this class will be provided to learners.

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

A written assessment of each learner will be provided to families.

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
