Curso de arte completo: arcilla, carboncillo y acuarela

Welcome to The Complete Art Course!
This course contains modules which will provide your child with the art skills they need for a month, semester or year! 
In each module a new art media is introduced, but every lesson is stand alone so can be accessed as a one-off class. Each module will include the study of an artist who uses that media. We will use techniques we study in famous artists to produce our own art work.
Each lesson strikes the fine balance between being a friendly relaxed place to be, and being educational- a place where children will learn about artists, art theory and learn new skills. I strive hard to make each child valued, "at home" and challenged throughout each class.
A list of resources will be posted in the classroom page 2 weeks before the new unit begins.
Please contact me via Outschool messages for further details.

So, what will we study?
