"Learning-2-Look with Roost"
Art During Times of Uncertainty, Unrest, and Change.
From the art of the Civil Rights movement of the ’60s to the current Black Lives Matter movement, or art from the Women’s Suffrage to the Women’s March, take a deeper dive into what makes art so powerful and effective during these times and so many others.
"Artists and their Work"
Learn about artists from antiquity to contemporary.
All Smart Arts makers will have an opportunity to create their very own masterpiece influenced by the artists they learned about that week. Students will walk away with knowledge of eight artists and amazing works of art at the end of the workshop!
