Great Art Start

Great Art Start classes provide a solid foundation for artmaking across a variety of mediums. Students create unique original works of art, that highlight their way of seeing the world. We use a combination of observation and imagination to express our artistic intentions. 

1. Each lesson starts as a group with a demonstration and discussion designed to help the students individualize their artistic intentions including exposure to professional artists who have work that corresponds with the lesson’s theme.
2. The students then gather their materials and begin. As the children create, I will help them recognize when they have made new discoveries about the materials, and guide them to make more and more detailed choices.
3. The class will all get a chance to share their daily processes with their peers.
4. After exercising responsibility in the clean up of materials, students will be given a clue to the theme of the next lesson in addition to a folder containing vocabulary and artists discussed that day.
