​Distance Learning

Distance Learning Art lessons:

Hello Bartlett Art Family!


 We are in the midst of an unprecedented public emergency.  
Please follow all safety guidelines that pertain to this COVID 19 pandemic. 
We will get through this!
In the meantime stay active and be creative. 

The art projects should be fun and inspirational. They are simple.  Make what you can with what you have.  Scroll down to see the lessons. Click on the links and explore and create.  You should be doing at least one project each week.  You do not have to use the same materials or subject matter, but figure out a way to create meaningful artwork with what you have available to you at home. Photograph all your creations with your Chromebook camera or cell phone and upload to your Google Drive Portfolio folders.  Email us your artwork and we will add it to the Bartlett Shutdown Art Gallery.   
Be resourceful make art out of anything you can find just remember to be safe!

Apart from artistically interesting, Dan Abramson’s cool idea to create a series of yoga soldiers gives an essence of serenity to the cruel and violent nature of war. “I made Yoga Joes because I thought that it would be a fun way to get more people into yoga – especially dudes… beyond that, I wanted to make a violent toy become peaceful,” he says.
