MOCHA Field Trips are a great way to spend the school year. We offer an array of art lessons and can customize curriculum based on what you are learning in your classroom. Your class or community group will participate in an engaging art lesson led by a professional teaching artist. Lessons include an educational presentation as well as opportunities for hands-on making. Each lesson is 1.5 hour long (K-12). We can accommodate up to 30 students (K-12). For groups larger than 30 students, a second reservation may be required and groups may need to be staggered. All of our lessons are developmentally appropriate and based on the California Visual Arts Standards. Choose a lesson from our list below and a MOCHA teaching artist will discuss how to adapt projects to your curriculum goals. ALEXANDER CALDER MOBILES Students study the work of Alexander Calder and create stationary mobiles inspired by his work. Using clay, wire and other materials students will learn sculpturing techniques and design skills. ART OF THE MASK Observe mask designs from around the world. Using papers, oil pastel or paint and collage materials, students create colorful masks that teach the elements of shape, pattern and symmetry. DREAMTIME ANIMALS An introduction to the art of the Aboriginal peoples of Australia and the meaning and stories behind their stylized artworks. Using paints and oil pastels students create their own dreamtime animals that inspire stories.

Next, they will draw and paint a mini scene that captures an important memory. Lastly, they will collage an elaborate border using mixed media paper and fabric. PORTRAITURE Artists like Frida Kahlo, Vincent Van Gogh and Henry Matisse are viewed as students discuss what makes a portrait and then learn how to use proportion to create colorful and whimsical pictures of themselves or any other abstract faces they can come up with.
