40 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
This class will meet live one time for 40 minutes and is intended for young learners ages 6 to 10 years old. We will learn about basic lines and shapes before creating a fun directed drawing of a sea turtle. Directed drawings are step-by-step instructions modeled by the teacher to help young artists complete a picture. We will also learn some interesting facts about sea turtles along the way. Students will then be able to creatively color their sea turtle. (Students may need some extra time outside of class to finish coloring their drawings.) Students will be able to share their drawings with the class. 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, I encourage each child to make their work unique and cherish the differences in each piece of art presented at the end of class.
Learning Goals
We will work on directed drawings while also discussing fun scientific facts. 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, lines, and shapes.
