Art Class Wrap Up at Wilson, Lincoln and Van Buren

It was a pleasure sharing art lessons for the September session with students from Wilson, Lincoln and Van Buren! For our last class we talked about the very popular artist Romero Britto, he was very well received - his art is bright, fun and exciting. He has a really great website that I told all the children about so if you'd like to see it as well, check out www.britto.com.  

Tomorrow starts our October session where we will be teaching Art, History and Science at Lewis & Clark, Washington and Sacajawea Elementary Schools. Can't wait to meet a new group of artists!  

Making History with History Club!

History Club of the Mythology Variety has been such fun!  We have been working on learning about the family tree of all the Greek gods beginning with Chaos!
This week the kids are learning about myths and how the ancient Greeks explained all the unexplained!

Having a blast!

Art Class Updates

It's the beginning of week two of Full Circle Art! Last week was great, I really enjoyed meeting all of the children in my classes, they were awesome to be around. Last week we talked about Dale Chihuly who is one of my favorite artist. We made our version of Chihuly's Macchia bowl, I hope your child was able to tell you how we made it and a little something about Chihuly when they got home! 

I showed them this video so they had an idea of what making his art looks like. I also sent home Drawing Challenge notebooks to give the kids an opportunity to draw everyday, this should be a fun activity that they look forward to - no stress, just some pictures!! 

This week we will be talking about the artist Wayne Thiebaud and experimenting with chalk pastels. We will create our version of one of his many dessert artworks and watch this video that talks about his art's perspective and what we should notice about it. It's going to be a fun week!

Thank you for supporting Full Circle,
