Combining history + visual arts to create a creative educational environment

Welcome to our ongoing art history club for artists of all levels, where we will focus on a variety of historical painters throughout time. 

This is a social course that is perfect for beginner artists and specializes in discussing historical art pieces from an analytical perspective. First, we will begin class learning about a specific artist from a historical movement and the techniques used to communicate their ideas. We will ask questions like why the artist did what they did and how they did it. We will focus on the history behind each piece and the events that may have influenced the artist to make that specific work. 

We will also focus on various techniques the artist has used throughout history, and then we will use our own materials to implement those techniques in class during talk time. In addition to game time, we will then make our own artwork in response to the artwork we have just studied. All students are welcome to bring their own coloring or painting materials to class. 

This is a homeschool-friendly course that integrates various subject matters, such as art and history, into its curriculum while fostering a social environment where students can learn through play. After the demo and game time, talking amongst each other is encouraged.

This section is geared toward minors. If you are over the age of 18 and are interested in taking art classes with me, please contact me via carlys.colorful.corner@gmail.com
