visual arts with mRs. Love
Students in grades K-8 learn to use a wide variety of media and techniques including drawing, painting, mixed media, print making, sculpture and ceramics in my class. The children will work on large scale mural projects and collective art pieces.
I encourage the students to practice each skill to develop more confidence.
They will start each class sketching and developing their drawing skills. Their handmade sketchbooks will take them through the year as a timeline of development. I believe a sketchbook helps students work through their ideas with many rough drafts until they've decided on the best design.
We will have monthly art prompts in their sketchbooks that will correlate with a Master Art piece. Works by Klimt, Hopper, Monet, Matisse, O'Keefe, Seurat, Van Gogh and Kahn to name a few. Class discussion focused on these paintings/ art pieces and will help students understand how artists use color to convey atmosphere and mood. The students will then complete their project.
I love art and seeing the satisfaction a child has with a completed piece that they never thought they were capable of. I've seen how much growth is possible when we are challenged and we are all capable of so much more. When children are encouraged and surrounded with positive motivation the outcome is wonderful.
Teaching children has enriched my life tremendously and my greatest wish is to enrich and inspire your children as well.
