They will examine and discuss artwork, take virtual gallery tours, participate in fun interactive games and quizzes and learn relevant art vocabulary.

A self portrait is a piece of art that an artist makes to represent themself. Artists can use many different mediums such as painting, pastels or sculpting to create their artwork. Self portraits can also be many different styles and are not always a realistic depiction of what the artist looks like. Rather, artists can take a more abstract view or connect with their emotions or interests while creating their representation . This week, students will learn to express themselves and their creativity by creating several self portraits that portray not only the physical attributes that make them special, but also allow students to creatively express their emotions, interests and feelings.
The art of weaving has been practiced since the beginning of civilization as a tool to make textiles and clothing. Today, most fabric is sown in a factory by a machine. However, in the past, all textiles were woven by hand! This lengthy process involved threading the yarn over and under in an alternating pattern using a loom! This week, students will explore using different styles of looms to weave yarn in different patterns. They will use symbolism in their work as they reflect on the colors and patterns within their crafts.
