Drawings Made Fun and Easy Using the Grid Method Renee Kubik

9:00 – 11:15 a.m.

Grades 3-5 $150

Your young aspiring artist will learn “The Grid Method” of drawing. This is a low-tech way to reproduce and/or enlarge an image that they will draw through use of measurements. This method has the added benefit of helping to improve their drawing and observational skills. The “Grid Method” involves drawing a grid over your reference photo, and then drawing a grid of equal ratio on your work surface (paper). Students will draw an image focusing on one square at a time, until the entire image has been transferred. Once they’re finished, they simply erase the grid lines and apply color. This is a fun and creative style that helps the young and aspiring artist develop an understanding through spatial concepts with drawings, which will now be proportionally correct!

Your child will have a blast learning and exploring their five senses. Each day, students will focus on a new sense and participate in many sensory activities incorporating math, science, and fine motor skills. One example is by using popcorn. We will see the kernels change shape, hear the popping, smell the wonderful aroma, feel the warmth of the popcorn, and the best part, of course, will be picking up each popped kernel to taste.

What better way to learn about our senses than by doing handson activities and meeting new friends.

Did you know that oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface? Do you know what makes ocean water salty? And did you know there are mountains under the ocean? After locating the four major oceans on a map, students will “dive in” and learn all about the plants and animals that live in them, the various landforms found under water, and how living and non-living things work together to create this amazing ecosystem. Students will also enjoy daily arts and crafts activities designed to reinforce learning. Get your swimsuit and snorkel ready and explore the wonders of the oceans.

For students in the transitional eighth grade Latin course, completion of the course leaves you with two options if you wish to continue Latin in the Upper School.
