This class will provide an opportunity for the students to think outside of the box to complete a visual art activity.  Students will also be working on their fine motor skills.  **Please note this is not an instructional class to teach specific artistic skills, this is more for students to use their imaginations and foster creativity (any skill level is accepted and celebrated).  To start this class the students will be provided with a shape that they will create artwork with.  They will be given instructions as to what the shape cannot be to avoid the obvious art outcome.  The students will then be provided time to complete their artwork while in class.  They will also be encouraged to discuss their creations as they work.  In the last 5 to 10 minutes of the class the students will be able to share their creation with the class. 
 Each week the students will be provided with a new shape which will allow for weeks of different creations.  The class will go beyond the weeks listed below as new shapes are introduced in upcoming weeks.

Week of July 4th: Students will be provided with a shape to create a piece of art with.  I will show them an example of art that this shape can become.  They will then be instructed to come up with a new item this shape could become to create their art.  Students will be challenged to broaden their horizons and provide a new perspective to creating art while nurturing their creative side.  They will also have the opportunity to see different perspectives from their classmates in how each of them potentially develops a different piece of art in using the same shape.

Week of July 11th: Students will be provided with a new shape to create a piece of art with.  I will show them an example of art that this shape can become.  They will then be instructed to come up with a new item this shape could become to create their art.
