#CreateAtHome-Visual Art Enrichment Opportunities
(designed for school closure situations)

Not only are the arts essential for a comprehensive education, creating visual art can reduce stress and promote relaxation in people who are homebound.  Studies have shown that expressing themselves through art can help people with depression, anxiety, and resilience.  These are critical supports for children anytime but especially during the stresses of school closures and the COVID-19 pandemic.

These three lessons were designed to be done at home with commonly found materials.  Each is offered as a video lesson as well as a paper handout for children without internet. Also included are general art materials lessons.

Photojournalism

Photojournalists document the events around them and this period of school closures is one of those times.  Students are challenged to notice what catches their eye in this new environment and empowered to chronicle this time in history..

Art From Nature

Use nature as the materials to make art like Andy Goldsworthy does.  Andy is a British sculptor who uses rocks, leaves, ice, twig, flowers, and time to create site-specific sculptures.

Art From Anything

No one needs fancy materials to create art.  It can be made from anything you can find.   If you have tea or coffee, you can paint!  If you have recycling items, you can make sculpture!
