All students want to experience painting and I try to make that happen. However, I think the experience would mean even more to them if they could pretend to be in their own studio. The opportunity to use an easel and a canvas does not take place in my class. Providing these materials would really enlighten their painting experience. We could pretend to be famous artists while painting our own Mona Lisa's or Starry Nights. Students would utilize art words that they only hear about. I imagine us dressing in berets, listening to music, and expressing ourselves with our paintbrushes. They will also discover that other mediums like oil pastels work wonderfully on canvas. Students will also be able to use the plaster and the wire to experience two mediums used for creating sculpture.
