In this ongoing class, students will meet once a week to learn about a different famous artist. They will learn a few facts about the artist and view some images of their artwork during a slide show presentation. Afterwards, the students will use that artist as inspiration to create an art project. This class will be interactive, working on both art as well as some other preschool skills such as following a routine, taking turns, and sharing their art work! There is no previous knowledge required and each class will be a stand alone topic, not building on the previous weeks. The supplies needed for each week will be posted one week in advance and make include paper, paint, crayons, glue, scissors, playdough, clay, etc. Some projects may also need parent preparation in advance.
