Walking and getting outside can be helpful for our health and wellbeing. Going one step further to document that experience with a photo, a collage, or a drawing can help solidify those great outcomes for kids!
We will have assignments for taking walks in nature, and then use those walks to create work. Students can walk outside, in their backyards, or take hikes at their own leisure, then use that time outside to create their work. Assignments will include using nature to make drawings (using twigs to make a line drawing, for example) as well as using photo collages on their phones to create memes or posts that document in a visual narrative. This course combines outdoor fitness, walking, and art!
Suggested Materials:
a device to take photos and access the internet (iPad or tablet, phone or computer)
ability to download free apps for photo grids
ability to take walks or go outside to gather materials in some way (either independently or with parent supervision)
found materials, recycling, etc
sidewalk chalk or pastels
used cardboard boxes: one that is big enough to sit in!

Online Classes at IS183
Though IS183 Art School has temporarily closed its doors due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, we are committed to our mission to provide hands-on art-making opportunities, keeping creativity alive during this challenging time. Our new Online Art series offers digital opportunities to work with talented IS183 Faculty Artists, bringing the studio experience to you!
Tuition
To make these classes as accessible as possible to everyone, we are offering each class with the option to select how much you want to pay. No matter which option you choose, you'll join the same class as everyone else. We trust that you will support IS183 with whatever you can afford, and encourage you to support the school with an additional donation during this challenging time, if possible.
How It Works
Register for a class (or series) on our website, and we will email you a Zoom meeting link along with instructions. Simply use the link to join the online class at the designated time! Download the Zoom app on your smartphone or tablet, or use your laptop/desktop web browser. The web browser client will download automatically when you join your first Zoom meeting. (Have a look at this Zoom overview.)
You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique!
Thank you for continuing to make art and support IS183 Art School! We look forward to seeing you in the (virtual) studios!
