USA National Parks - Art Club - Ages 11-14

In this ongoing class, students will have fun learning about a new national park located in the United States every week. Students will have the opportunity to learn fun facts about the park and the chance to share their experience if they have been there or what they like about the park. I will have slides that have different fun facts that they can follow along with. After learning and discussing about the park for 10-15 minutes, we will dive into our our project. I will be rotating what supplies we need every month. We will alternate every month between acrylic paint, pastels, and colored pencils. This allows plenty of time to get supplies and the opportunity to work with different art mediums. Students are also welcome to use whatever supplies they have. The first thing I will teach students is how to do a quick sketch of the national park we are studying that week. Next, I will teach students how to add color to their project whether it is by paint, pastels or colored pencils. I will guide students every step of the way. By the end of class each week, students will have learned some fun facts about a new national park and created a beautiful art project they can be proud of. My goal of this class is to create a fun, energetic environment that instills excitement for learning about beautiful parks and to have fun creating art together.
