Join Carlye as she leads students through a creative process: understanding the mood, tone contribute to a piece of art. Students will explore techniques in portrait/self-portrait, landscape, and still life; composition, sketching basics, color theory, and detail work. Residency plans are adjusted to grade level and age to be developmentally appropriate and compliment current curriculum themes. Projects can include individual paintings or individual creations adding to a larger class installation. 

Projects can be adapted to most any subject matter, from earth science and ELA standards with “visual book reports” to representations of historical movements, events, and figures through visual art. Adding creative interpretations to any curriculum helps students internalize and draw personal applications to a subject matter. Bring visual arts into your classroom today!
