Class experience
Pablo Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." Have you ever been to an art museum and seen a painting or sculpture that just made you feel confused? Maybe you've wondered, "how can this be art?". The famous question is: what exactly IS art? Learning about modern and contemporary art movements can help artists of all ages answer those difficult questions, discover their own style of art, and find ways to communicate and discuss...
My hope is that every child feels inspired, empowered and confident when they leave my classroom. By learning about these diverse and interesting artists, learners can explore different art styles and mediums, which will help them to find their own strengths and motivate them to learn more - both about themselves, and of the world around them.
I have been teaching modern art history classes on Outschool since 2018 and host local workshops in my homeschooling community as well. As a professional artist and textile designer I have attended professional development training seminars on cultural representation, appropriation and non-biased instruction in the art world. I am passionate about helping young ones to see and appreciate the diverse world around them as they draw inspiration from the beauty of our global community.
Art supplies to have on hand include mixed media/watercolor paper, pencil and eraser, ruler, markers, colored pencils, watercolor and tempera paints, scissors, glue and crayons and/or oil pastels. Any other specific materials will be optional and posted in the classroom in advance in case you'd like to experiment with a more advanced medium.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
While discussing the lives and history of many of these modern artists, some facts may arise that could be troubling or disturbing to a sensitive learner. Some examples might be: details of Frida Khalo's traumatic bus accident; discussions about cultural appropriation, racism and feminism, and/or the tragic deaths of particular artists. These details are handled in an age-appropriate manner and some are not included in the lesson; however, other learners in class may be aware of these details and might bring them up in class, so please consider this prior to enrolling and contact me with any questions.
I will be using my own personal slides, materials and personal photos & videos from museums (with permission). At times I may recommend free additional resources from www.artprojectsforkids.org
