1. Mixed Media Art Workshops and Classes for Students
Art Instructor Karol Jersak
“Art projects for students give playful tools that build confidence and
promote self-directed goals in their life”.
I have experience teaching art classes for kids of all ages and abilities
including special needs. Activities include painting, collage, mixed media
painting and sculpture.
My classes for mixed media are a fun way for students to work on
projects independently or collaboratively in groups. They will be learning
how to apply a variety of materials with different textures and
compositions on canvass and sculpture. My projects includes creating
collage and vision boards that explore the students personal interests.
The lesson plans are theme based, such as nature, landscapes, personal
interests, goals and words that express their passions in life. The focus is
to keep students engaged by learning impromptu and long term art
projects.
Videos are used to show question and answer games that help students
work cooperatively in small groups. The goal of this lesson is for students
to learn how to share and work together on creating a piece of art. It
also gives them a great opportunity to learn about their fellow students
by working in teams. Exhibitions of art work will be displayed throughout
their sessions.
Through art, students learn to develop self-expression, problem solving,
setting goals and seeing a process of accomplishment and pride.
