Each week in class, we will head out into the neighborhood to draw, plein air (i.e., in the open air)! Students will practice drawing in 2-and-3-point perspective while they engage deeply in the practice of noticing. Students will build artistic skill as well as appreciation for the vibrant and diverse neighborhood our school calls home. Students will also gain appreciation for art as practice that slows down the mind, builds the muscle of self-regulation, and cultivates a mindset grounded in gratitude, peace, and joy.
Required texts/materials:
Students are welcome to bring in art materials of their choice if their preferred medium is not available at the school.
