Everyone's An Artist: A Hands-On Exploration of Art History!

In this episode we will explore the life and creative path of American artist, Georgia O'Keeffe.  I will introduce you to our featured artist and send you off on a virtual gallery tour, so you can experience art from home.  I will also tell you how you can use glue to create a beautiful flower, just like O'Keeffe!

In episode six, we will explore the capital of Germany.  You will also learn a little bit about the history of graffiti art in Berlin and the artist, Victor Ash!  I will explain how I turned a large roll of kraft paper into an art lesson & how you can learn graffiti lettering.  This is a hands-on art history lesson that can be done outside, in your sketchbook, alone, or as a collaboration.  I hope you enjoy!

Today we will learn about the artist, and environmentalist, Andy Goldsworthy! You will learn how you can create artwork with natural materials, that you might find it your own backyard.  We will also be integrating a little science into our hands-on art history lesson and learn why it is important to be gentle with nature.  I hope you enjoy!
