Home School Art History/Application for Children grades 2 - 6 with Dawn Faber. Classes begin March 3 on Wednesday afternoons for four weeks (no class on March 17th)  from 4:00 pm. to 5:30 pm. Fee: $60
In this four week class Dawn will teach children about the origins of art and learn about the art of well known artists.
Dawn will talk about the time period and how what was happening in history affected the work of the artist, keeping 
the lesson geared to each student's comprehension level.
Her goal is having children start to think about art in a way that is meaningful to them. Students will learn that there is no wrong way
or right way to interpret art.  The children will begin to see art in a different way, one that they will continue to develop as they grow
into adulthood.  Creative thinking is not only valuable in the visual arts but in many areas of life including building confidence and self esteem.
