Fiesta de arte para mostrar y contar: ¡comparte, debate y crea! (Diversión social semanal, de 6 a 11 años)

Join us for a fun and interactive weekly, ongoing art party where we celebrate individual creativity and artistic expression! 

In the first half hour of the class, each student will have an opportunity to share at least one piece of art they created in the last week and answer audience questions about their pieces and process. This part of class gives learners the opportunity to be social with their classmates and get to know one another as people and as creators.  It focuses on the skills of public speaking and presentation, active listening, turn-taking, encouragement, and appreciation.

In the second half hour, we will embark on a creative journey together by engaging in collaborative art-making activities. We will focus on process over product, and explore different art techniques and media. Each week, I will suggest a technique for making process art that involves both drawing and coloring.

Because of the nature of both "show and tell" and process art, there are no predetermined weekly session topics. The first half of our classes will always be learner-directed, and the second half will be process focused. Each piece of art created will be unique! The supplies and materials that are required from week to week will not change. The minimum requirements are at least 2 pieces of paper, something to draw with, and something to color with. We will play with lines, shapes, space, color, and shading. 

Get ready for an exciting art-filled adventure!
