We will try to start as early as the Greeks and paint, lithograph,
cut, charcoal, conta crayon,
graphite, sculpt,
collage, and
create our way to the most recent artist, Alex Grey.
Because we only have 32 weeks to work, we will
miss some art periods, *BUT* this leaves exploration open to future
study.
If we don't hit the art movement this
year, come back next year and we probably will!
This possible schedule is a work in progress and I will move, add and eliminate projects as it comes into shape.
We will work in a great number of mediums, and it is my goal to create projects that you could not easily do with
your child at home. I am open to suggestion of projects and artist at this point. Please feel free to email me
at bergiemoore@gmail.com to contribute to this developing agenda for next year.
