Over 8 weeks, we are going to create 8 different winter themed art projects, all while having fun. Art topics will include painting skills, drawing skills, watercolor resist art projects, pattern and repetition, color, and expression. We will make a new art project each week. 

Week 1: Winter Woodland with Red Fox. We will talk about nature, learn what types of trees loose their leaves, and about evergreens, which stay green all winter.

Week 2: Abstract Patterned Winter Landscape. We will make decorated pine trees that emphasizes art, pattern, and color. We will include cardinals and other birds.

Week 3: Funny Polar Bear. Color, shape, and pattern will be discussed.  We will incorporate expression and emotion to make the polar bear funny (or serious).

Week 4: Chilly Penguin. We will work more on the technique of watercolor resist, while also talking about form and expression. 

Week 5:  Hot Cocoa in Decorative Mugs. A fun artwork all about one of the most delicious things about winter! Form of a round shape will be discussed.

Week 6: Winter City Scene. Shape, form and color will be important as we look more deeply into the shapes of the man-made world.

Week 7: Design Your Own Sweater. This fun project will be full of creativity as students think of what their favorite things about winter are and make their own sweaters.

Week 8: Snow Globe with Snowmen. Our final project will be a beautiful snow globe with a snowman, or any other winter themed icons. 

Learners will have plenty of opportunity for self expression. My teaching style is relaxed, and students will be able to learn, while also using their own imaginations to create art they enjoy.

We will have lots of opportunity to show each other our art as we are creating. Learners will show their art to the group at the end of each class. I will have a positive critique of student's artwork at the end of each class.
