ART FOUNDATIONS 1

Welcome to Mastering the Elements of Art

Art Foundation 1

Art Foundation I is designed specifically for school-age children in 1st and 2nd grade (ages 6-8).

This LIVE ONLINE (zoom) course introduces your child to the elements of art (line, color, shape, form, value, space and texture) through a series of fun and interactive lessons that teach the beginning skills of art technique and expression.
*For a better understanding of these elements, please go HERE.

Your child will learn:

how to draw using line and shape and "breaking what we see into shapes."
recognition and use of patterns
basic composition (size and distance)
basics of how to use color, value, tint and shade.
introduction to using ink (sharpie) and color pencil.

Multiple lessons are integrated with literature and sensory processing for cognitive growth.

By the end of this course, your child will have a portfolio of their own artwork to showcase their progress and newfound artist skills.

This course can be taken twice
before lessons repeat.
