These weekly Literature/Art Courses are geared toward students who would like to expand the breadth of their artistic talents as we dive into the respective worlds of the "The Chronicles of Narnia" or “The Lord of the Rings”.   Over the 2020-2021 school year, we will read each of the books in the respective series.  Each week, students will be assigned a corresponding art project to enhance and to bring life and purpose to their reading!   This is a true integrated project-based learning experience.  Students encourage each other as they share their responsive art projects with the class each week.  

Over the years, Mrs. G's  Art/Literature courses has proven to be highly successful, fun and motivating for art minded students!

Expectations for each lesson:

1. Art Projects: – Complete the art project based on the reading.
2. Write about 100 words to explain your artistic response OR be prepared to explain your artistic response to the class.​

Individualized Art Exploration
(Ages 11 and older) 
Individualized Art Exploration is geared toward students who would like to expand the breadth of their artistic talents while integrating it with a subject of their choice.  The course and assignments are unique for each student (or group of students) depending upon their goals.  Students could earn 1/2 or even 1 full high school credit for this course depending upon their goals.
Students are given the opportunity to respond to artistic challenges through many different types of arts projects. Every project explores a different art form: sculpture, textiles, paint, etc.. all with their individual concentration.  Art projects are not step by step projects, but projects that require students to experiment with using the different mediums to present and to defend their artistic responses.  For each lesson, students are required to write a short paper, show scrapbook design sketches and complete an artistic response as directed.
Accountability is a huge motivator especially for artists.  Mrs. G.  helps hold students accountable by providing challenges and due dates while she motivates and encourages students with reviews of their work.  

Students meet with Mrs. G. via Zoom weekly for 25 minutes
Schedule TBD
Tuition:  (similar to piano lessons) - $100 month/student
