Botanical Contour Line Drawings inspired by Karen Kitchel

Students honed their observation skills and hand/eye coordination as they drew plants from life.

This gallery features artwork by first, second and third grade students from Lemon Grove Elementary in Ventura.

These residencies were generously funded by BiJian Fan, Jerry Clifford and Donna Hamer.

Four week and single lessons are also available. Our lessons are cross-curricular and support the California content standards. Many of them can be tailored and grouped to work with a particular unit of study, i.e. zoology, social studies, history, language arts, sciences, etc. They are adaptable to a wide range of grade levels from elementary through secondary grades and beyond, including community groups and programs. Programs are supported in a variety of ways, including school and PTA funds, grants, or personal donations from an individual or group of parents/grandparents.

Our program is taught by professional artists who have extensive educational experience. We feel that this criterion helps to guide the student with a deeper understanding of the art making process.
