CVIS Art Class!

Chartiers Valley Intermediate School

Distance Learning

Hello CV families! Making art at home is a great way to keep our minds active and our creativity flowing while we are learning from home. I made a website as a resource for enriching art activities for our students. You do not need to buy special materials to make art. You can use whatever supplies you have on hand- even just drawing with a crayon or pencil on scrap paper. However, there is an amazon link for some supplies if you choose to buy some. For Distance Learning Art activities, please click here.

Learning Objectives

We will be learning about creating, presenting, responding to, and connecting with art. I love art history and learning from the past. You can expect to be introduced to many wonderful artists and cultures and creating artworks inspired by them. We follow the PA Standards for Arts& Humanities and cover age appropriate learning activities in art production, art history, art criticism, and art aesthetics.

Local Art

I encourage all of our CV families to visit our local museums. It’s a great way to enjoy your family while exploring art.
