This ongoing upper elementary & middle grades art class gives students the opportunity to explore art making techniques while learning a bit about art history and connecting learning in other subject areas. Each week we will focus on an art element and medium or technique that is inspired by an artwork or artist. Techniques and media covered in this class will include watercolor, collage, mixed media engagements, printmaking, sculpture and clay. Students will learn about a diversified lot of both modern and historical artists  and their art from around the world. Each class will start by introducing our inspiration art and artists along with the technique.  Students will be guided through creating a piece of art based on our inspiration art piece however each students work will remain uniquely individual. 

Ms. Stephanie uses are variety topics including nature, outer space, architecture, animals, and more to keep class kids interested and challenged with techniques that can be made more or less challenging based on individual learners ages and current ability levels. 

Each week, needed art supplies will be uploaded into the classroom, however a general list is provided here for your convenience as you plan and prepare.
