Every first art class of each month, I introduce one special Artist-of-the-Month.
I try and select an artist with a connection to Illinois, Downers Grove, current trending artists with connections to different materials or techniques we are learning during class.
During our class, we watch a short video of information, students create a reflection sheet (and post it to Seesaw) and share images of the artist's work.
My goal is to build student's vocabulary and understanding of how, what, why and where artists work. Seeing real, successful, inspiring artists hopefully will transfer into their own creations within our classroom studio. I would like all students to have a common experience K-6 so all students have the connection to special artists and techniques.
Please talk to your child about the Artist-of -the-Month.
Feel free to share photos with me through Seesaw or Email if you have or do visit sites with the artist's work on display. I love the home/school connection!!!!
