CLASS TOPICS
🌿 We’ll introduce the element of line through monocots, dicots, and conifers. Although this is usually a complicated subject for students, they’ll realize how simple it is when we just look at the lines!
🥕 Students will discover texture all over nature. We’ll get outside and look for some as well as parts of a plant.
🍃 Did you know there are two categories of shapes? We’ll learn about them and find them in nature while practicing our painting skills.
🌸Why are flowers so colorful? We’ll answer this question as we learn about warm and cool colors as well as the importance of the parts of a flower and pollination.
☀️ Can you really learn about something as complex as photosynthesis through art? YES! I love breaking down this process step-by-step for kids as we explore the element of value.
🌼 Space–no, not outer space–is an important yet forgotten element of art. We’ll learn how to use it as we sketch the life cycle of a plant.
🍁 Finally, let’s make it 3D with our last art project! We’ll deep-dive into the purpose of each season as we create an awe-inspiring creation.
