Class Code: MYA   
Teacher: Kate McGinn

Description:

In elementary art, we will be introducing students to the exciting, diverse world of visual art. We will look to famous artists of the past to see examples of different mediums and styles. Each week, we will work on a project that either simulates or practices the style of the specific artist or period we are covering. For example, creating a picture out of dots if studying Georges Seurat and Pointillism or attempting to create artwork taped to the underside of a table if studying Michaelangelo to mimic his process of the Sistine Chapel. Artists to be used for project inspiration include:
Leonardo DaVinci,  Michealangelo,  Claude Monet,  August Renoir, Georges Seurat, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Piet Mondrian, and Georgia O’Keefe.
