Art is important for several different reasons. Through art, children can learn problem-solving skills, increase fine motor skills, and increases social-emotional learning. During this class, the learners will learn to create various winter landscapes using the style of Vincent Van Gogh. I will give a little background information about Van Gogh before we start painting. While we are painting, the learners will also learn about creating textures and using lines and shapes to create their works of art. They will also learn about creating landscapes. The class will be structured as follows: Greetings Demonstration Painting and Socializing Virtual Art Gallery I will teach using a demonstration of how to create the landscape we will be working on for each session. While we paint, we will socialize. This may include playing Would You Rather if the learners would like to do so. My teaching style is relaxed. I like to encourage students to add their own creative touches to their paintings. I like to point out the positive elements of the learner's art to help guide growth. The learners will get to interact with me and other learners throughout the lesson. Socialization is encouraged. Day 1: Starry Moonlit Night Day 2: Very Van Gogh Christmas Trees Day 3: Very Van Gogh North Pole Landscape Day 4: Very Van Gogh Winter Snow Man **I do not cancel due to low enrollments.
Learning Goals

Parental Guidance
This class is Christmas-themed. However, I will not be teaching about Christmas. The learners will be determining some of the topics of conversation during this class. Acrylic paint will wash off the skin easily, but it doesn't like to wash out of clothing or other surfaces.
