As a part of this class, students will be encouraged to think outside the box and create with simple materials. Students will brainstorm and design a couple of items to build using recycled materials and old newspapers.

Students will learn how to turn a 2D drawing into a 3D form by exploring and experimenting with drawing supplies and clay. Students will learn about artist Wayne Thiebaud by analyzing his artwork. Each day students will view a painting and cooperatively answer questions in groups. Students will then have studio time to work on their pieces. The culminating project will be to have students create a bold cake drawing and use clay to create a 3D version.

Students will use a variety of media to create artwork depicting trees, plants, and forest animals, while experimenting with texture and color.

Students will learn about 3 different artists from France, and make art inspired by each one. Each day, students will focus on a different artist, learning about their style and their impact on the art world. There will be activities such as virtual museum tours, as well as creating art. The lessons will use hands-on projects, discussions, and digital resources.

Students will be introduced to a number of printmaking techniques including relief printing, collagraph, monoprints, and gelli printing.
