Art Class (P3 or P4)

Teacher: Annie Chan
Minimum 6 students

CLASS DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Art class with Annie and Coco! This class is intended for students ages 6-13. Throughout this course, students will explore the different media and styles of art. We will cover the fundamentals such as lines, shapes, texture, color, shading, space, value, composition, etc. From the new techniques and skills, students are enabled to develop their artistic knowledge, recognize dimensions, view different perspectives, and expand on their imagination. The lessons will include different types of art such as watercolor painting, colored pencil and marker drawings, designing, sketching, etc. 

HOW IS THE CLASS RAN?

  • (apply to both periods although teachers Ms.Jiang teaches the third and Ms.Chan teachers the forth period)
  • In the beginning of the first few classes, we will be giving an introduction about ourselves
  • Please have all your materials ready before class
  • Usually we will give a lesson at the beginning of class. When we are done teaching we will answer any questions. After students can begin working on their art project and we will individually check in on them to give suggestions and advice. Some days, we will let students follow along on what I am doing. For example, we will teach them the first step and then, give them a certain amount of time to finish until we move on to the second step. 
  • While some projects might require students to follow the teacher, most of the projects will be that we teach them a style and then, they come up with the idea. Each student’s idea might be different but, at the end, the styles, techniques, and skills learned will be the same. For example, if we teach them how to paint a fur technique, some students might choose to draw a dog and some may choose to draw a cat, at the end, they will be using the same technique.
  • Some art projects may take longer than others, so students will be given extra time in the next couple of classes to finish them. Students can also work on their art projects during their free time but if not, there should be plenty of time for them to finish in class.
