_____________________

This class is offered for either Middle School or High School. The material will basically be the same, with some modification for the High School lessons. I will adjust the teaching style and details for the students' grade levels. Students who are in the overlap ages between classes are free to choose whichever class they feel would be most enjoyable and profitable.

( This is the High School version. The Middle School version can be found here:

In each section, I'll use engaging lecture and vivid PowerPoint presentations to introduce learners to the basic periods of Western Art History. Throughout the class, we will discover the historical events that influenced the style of the periods and meet the various artists who represent them. We will look at examples of the artists' works and styles so that learners will be able identify artists by their paintings or sculptures.
     
Although students will not be asked to fully draw or reproduce any of the works, I will use a document camera as I help students complete a printable worksheet to practice or examine some of the visual elements we've studied in that lesson, such as line, shape, and color. These activities will enhance the students' appreciation of the technique and style used by these artists. 

Whether or not the learner has ever studied art before, I want this class to be a fun and engaging experience.

No previous art experience is necessary for learners to enjoy this class.
