Why Choose This Course?
Get ready for an exciting artistic adventure! We’ll kick off with a live video from Antarctica, where Gavin and Jordan from Young Art USA will introduce you to a breathtaking, newly formed iceberg. You’ll learn how artists choose colours and techniques to evoke feelings and tell stories, then apply these ideas to create your iceberg masterpiece.
Students will explore the art of using a monochromatic scale, learning to balance light and dark shades to capture the true essence of an iceberg. To top it off, Jordan will teach students how to draw an elephant seal, using expert tips to master shading and texture. Once completed, students will exhibit their artwork in a school gallery, with some pieces auctioned to raise money for charity.
Learning Goals
