Enhance your art smarts with this flexible schedule class where we enjoy masterpieces of sculpture from great artists.  

**Class Format**
Monday - First Look.  Each week I will share some background information about the artist and the culture in which they lived in a short 5-10m video.  Students will then study the sculpture closely and share any observations as a written or video comment in the discussion thread.

Tuesday - Second Look.  Students should point out something new and different that they noticed about the sculpture after they study it a second time.

Wednesday - I will post a shorter second video pointing out a few extra details that did not come up in discussion.  Students are asked to spend the rest of the week recreating the sculpture in their own clay or paper model, drawing, or other creative way.  

Friday - Learners share their recreations in the classroom and comment on those of their classmates.
