Last year, we decided to try out a new art class, this one for ages 5-10 year-olds. I must admit, I wasn’t sure how it would go… Teaching this age range was completely different than what we were used to.
We focused on shapes, colors, values, and of course, a whole lot of fun!
Learning about shading
Most of last year’s classes were spent in drawing (graphite and colored pencils) and painting (watercolor and watercolor pencils), but we also experimented with sculpting and mosaics. It did get a little messy at times… But don’t worry! Almost everything was washable! (We did use acrylics one week, and unfortunately, those aren’t washable… BUT aprons were provided!)
It didn’t always look this crazy…
I didn’t always remember to take pictures of finished projects, but here are a few that we did get.
If happy students who are excited to come (and can’t believe that it’s really time to go), are any indication, then I think our class was a success!
