Make your Universe (3-8)

by Mandy McGee | Anna Teer, Elementary School, Middle School, Single Session, Vermilion Parish, Visual Art

What if you were asked what your ideal world would be…and then you had the opportunity to create a visual of it? In Make Your Universe, students will do just that. Students are given the freedom to put together what their ideal world would be and the opportunity to experiment with the art of collage making by using magazine clippings to create a unique art piece. Through this, students both express themselves and gain a better understanding of collage as an art form.

Paint What you “Sea” (1-5)

by Mandy McGee | Anna Teer, Elementary School, Lafayette Parish, Single Session, St. Landry Parish, Vermilion Parish, Visual Art

Color, fluidity, line…and freedom. These all come together in a watercolor creation in Paint What You “Sea.” Over the course of a class period, students will experiment with color and shading through painting images of the ocean. They will be guided in creating fluidity and line with their brushes; through that, they will gain a basic understanding of watercolor painting and experience the freedom that comes with the medium.

Carve it Out (9-12)

by Mandy McGee | Anna Teer, High School, Lafayette Parish, Single Session, St. Landry Parish, Vermilion Parish, Visual Art

It’s printmaking! It’s carving! It’s a beginner’s workshop on both! Linocutting, a process by which the artist carves into a flat surface and then inks the “raised” bits to create a mirror image print, is the glue that unites the two techniques. Students in this session will be given design samples and work on carving in a technique used by Picasso, Escher, and many others. At the end of the workshop, students will be able to take home the stamps and prints they created. Here’s to a new skill and a very cool piece of art!
