Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner - Advanced Level
This lesson is the prerequisite for my other art classes. Your student learns the wonder of art through the science of discovering self.  In this lesson, we use science from STEM to explore the artist inside, pick a dream job, make goals, learn fonts, cursive, etc., to create a kallos signature!  My class includes a 15:22 minute video that includes questions for the student to answer and art exercises for the student to try out.  I teach with visuals, stories, humor, and facts.  Did you know that doodling your school notes is 14 times more effectve for learning than listening alone?  I give basic principles, specific and interesting examples, and time for the students to learn at their own pace.  I also encourage students to explore on their own and see where this art form can go!

Learning Goals

Scientific principle of flow and how to apply it to their lives to pick a dream job.
The benefits of art and how to overcome common hang ups to creation.

Other Details

Learning Needs
ADHD- my lessons are funny with lots of visuals and fast-paced or pause at their attention level to help all students try what works best for them.
Pre-Requisites
This lesson is best for students who can already write their own name in English and can read at a 3rd grade level or more. New words are explained, but this lesson will stretch their vocabulary and understanding of art as a science.
Supply List
Favorite art mediums (such as watercolor paints, crayons, markers, etc.) in the student's favorite color.  Any supplies to use the favorite medium, such as paper, canvas, brushes, water tub, etc. are also encouraged.  Use art supplies already around the house, do not purchase supplies for this class, unless desired.
Language of Instruction
English (Level: A1)
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
