So, how do we teach art to engage today’s students and foster critical thinking while discovering a group of diverse artists that may not be in typical Art History books?

Course Overview

Welcome to Family Art Adventures, a fun, hands-on journey through the art world where we combine learning about an artist with an art project inspired by their style. The class includes an interactive lecture, a teacher-led painting and drawing tutorial, and art concepts like color theory, composition, shading, texture, abstraction, and perspective. This class is tailored to be age-appropriate and accessible with hands-on activities where parents and children can create artwork inspired by what they’ve learned.

The session includes:
● Artist Spotlight: Explore a famous artist and their work.
● Art Technique Time: Practice new techniques with easy-to-follow tutorials.
● Create and Collaborate: Make your own projects and team up for group artwork.

Course Goals:
● Boost confidence and creativity
● Uncover each person's artistic talents
● Connect us to art history and contemporary art.
● Foster parent-child bonding through shared learning and creativity.

This course enriches students’ and parents' understanding of art, empowering them to create their own work. It fosters confidence, self-discovery, and connection to the world through art. With a commitment to diversity and creativity, students are invited to unlock their artistic potential and reimagine their surroundings through the power of art.
