Theme: Op Art Pop Art! We Just Can't Stop Art.
We will be learning about the Modern Art Movements of both Pop and Op art while investigating new media and developing our artistic skills.
The Pop Art movement started in the mid 20th century and focused on popular culture and icons. Op art, also a modern art movement, is based on optical illusions in the work.

Art Classes will be held on Wednesday afternoons in June and July from 12:30-1:30
Location:
My House
Fee:
$10 per class (due at the beginning of each class taken)
Class size:
Classes will be limited to 5 students
How to sign up:
Sign up is first come first serve. You can sign up for any number of classes that interest you. Sign up by e-mailing me at heidileagarner@hotmail.com. I will make a note of it on this blog post when a class is filled up.
Additional info:
I will be out of town the first two Wednesday's in July. Art classes will not be held.
AND... we are in the process of getting our house rented and moving into a larger home this summer. We are planning to stay in the area. Hopefully there will not be an interruption in our schedule. If there will be an interruption I will let you know as soon as possible.
Sometimes an hour is not enough time to finish a project. Students will be provided detailed instruction and may find that they run out of time during our class. They should finish their work at home, and may even want to teach their parents and siblings what they have learned and make more art work using the information that they have acquired in class. We will be using very common supplies for our projects, and they will be provided for use in our classes. If your child needs to complete a project at home you may have these materials already or they can easily be found at Michael's or even Walmart.
Class Descriptions:
Wednesday June 3st: Andy Warhol Pop Art Pop Cans (FULL)
Some of Warhol's most famous works included his Campbell's soup cans. Students will be learning how to draw cylinders, a 3d object, on a 2d surface (paper). They will be showing depth in their work. They may draw a pop can of a popular canned beverage or make up their own designs.
Materials:
Paper
Pencil
Color Pencil
Wednesday June 10th: Andy Warhol Portraits (FULL)
Warhol was also well known for his portraits of popular celebrities. He often made several silkscreen prints of a celebrity or public figure and displayed them on one canvas. This time the student will be the celebrity and we will "warholize" their portrait.
Materials:
Paper
Color pencil
In addition, I will need to be e-mailed a digital photo of your child (jpeg format). Just their head would be optimal. I will need this the Tuesday before class.
Wednesday June 17th: Thiebaud Desserts (FULL)
Wayne Thiebaud was born right here in Mesa Arizona, but moved to California soon after his birth. He is well known for his bright oil paintings of yummy desserts and candies. In this lesson students will use oil pastels to emulate the work of Thiebaud and draw their own dessert counters. They will also learn how to shade to create more depth in a drawing.
Materials:

Pencils
Oil Pastels
Wednesday June 24th: Robert Indiana Word Art (FULL)
While Robert Indiana was not the only pop artist to use lettering in his art work, he has a special place in my heart because we are lucky enough to have one of his LOVE sculptures right here in the valley.

Pencil
Color Pencil
Markers
