Offered by: homeschooling moms Janice & Johanne

We will begin to explore the wild, wonderful and wide world of the arts in French.  We will cover basic French vocabulary which we will reinforce each of the 4 weeks. The objective is to inject French learning while doing something fun in the arts.  Hands-on art projects for the children are scheduled for each week.  This is not however a French-second-language-for-newbies class, it's an art class as described in the objectives.  For all ages - parent participation is obligatory.  Please sign up on the April 6 session before Wednesday March 31.

April 6 - Exploration of the color wheel: Come and explore the elements of the color wheel through various mediums. We will look at light and darks, shadows, hues, mixing colors, etc. so that we can apply this information to the projects in our next 3 workshops.

April 13 - Plaster Masks:   Come and make a souvenir mask of the unique contours of your child's face.  Masks will be made out of casting material (same material broken limbs are are set with).

April 20 - Decorating our Plaster Masks:  We will paint and decorate your unique mask.  We welcome everyone to bring in supplies to share or just use what we will have on sight, feathers, glitter glue, sequences, paint, pipe cleaners, etc.

April 27 - Action Painting:  Artists Jackson Pollock and Max Ernst thought up many new ways of applying paint to their canvasses.  We will explore marble painting, straw painting, comb painting, moving elements, ect.
