Welcome to art class! We are going to have an exciting year together in art, full of discovery
and art making. We will make art in many ways. We will draw, collage (cut and glue), paint, and make sculpture. We are going to learn
what it means to be an artist and how to work like an artist because we are all artists.




Now you will begin to create a piece of art....
First step is to get an idea-you have to think of what you want to make
Envision...we are going to come up with an idea and picture it in our mind

You are the artist, you are your own person, with your own ideas-
What are you going to make?
Ask yourself:
-what is your favorite thing in the world?
-what do you find beautiful?
-what makes you happy?

Distribute Supplies

Use your imagination to make something beautiful or interesting!
