Art History for Kids
Create a work of art inspired by a famous artist!

In this ongoing class, learners will be introduced to a different artist each week. To start class, we will learn and have a discussion about the artist and their work. This will be done largely though a slide show while asking students about what they see. During this portion, each learner is given an opportunity to talk. Then, we will spend the majority of the class creating art of our own! Some weeks, the students will be led in a directed drawing and asked to add creativity to their work wherever they see fit. Once and a while, students will be provided a prompt based off of that week's artist. In the last 5-10 minutes of class, each learner will share their work with the class.

There are over 100 artists planned for this course, so learners will have over 2 years in this class before projects repeat.
