Let's make our world more colorful!

In this class, learners will create artwork inspired by rainbow colors. The first class will start with introductions, and the beginning of each class thereafter will start with a review of what was covered in the week before. Each lesson will be taught in a directed drawing style to aid those who are not confident in their skills yet. However, after the learners have completed the steps demonstrated, they will be encouraged to make their art unique and personal to them. At the end of class all students will share their artwork with the class.

Not only will we make colorful artwork, but students will also introduced to drawing, painting, collage, and multi media techniques. We will learn about the order of the rainbow and different types of lines. We will discuss art vocabulary such as multimedia, crayon resist, and color wheel. Also, learners will be exposed to the famous artist, Alma Thomas and her colorful paintings.
