Do you have an artist at home in need of inspiration? In the Art Studio, our Zoom sessions inspire thinking, engagement, learning, creativity, French fluency and fun! Continue learning and creating in between classes by working on independent projects.

For children who have previous experience with French immersion. Instruction entirely in French.

Students will revisit simple vocabulary necessary for creating and describing works of art, such as colors, shapes, patterns, textures and art materials. They will also learn or revisit other basic vocabulary such as the French alphabet, numbers from 1 to 10, body parts, animals and emotion words.  They will learn and practice this vocabulary with the help of songs, games, videos and books with colorful illustrations. Students will also be introduced to different styles and works of art. They will create their own similar art pieces using paper and markers, crayons, colored pencils and watercolors. For some class sessions, we will use other materials. Advance notice will always be given for new materials. There will be simple independent projects assigned  for every other class session, such as drawing a picture or completing the art project that was started in class.

Class objectives

• Acquire and practice essential French vocabulary
• Refresh your child’s knowledge of the French alphabet and numbers
• Discover different styles and works of art by various artists
• Create art pieces using simple materials you can find at home
