Students will learn to critically look at the works of great artists. Students will learn art techniques in different media.

We will learn about art basics including color, lines, subject matter, perspective, and techniques. We will look at art by the masters and discuss what they mean to us. Then we will create a work of art inspired by the art of the masters in this ongoing course.

Notes:
* If you are using tube acrylics, you will need an acrylic medium to mix with them. Buy a matte or low gloss medium. This should be available where you purchased your paints. You will also need an artist plastic palette to properly mix your paints.

A note about paints: It is best to have either liquid acrylic or Tempera paints. Tempera paints are inexpensive paints. They are non-toxic and easily washable You can find them on Amazon. This set is the bare minimum on Amazon "Crayola Tempera Paint Set, 2-Ounce, 6 Count" (it costs about $8.00).
You will also need a set of CHALK Pastels. This is a good set on Amazon "Mungyo Soft Pastel Set of 48 Assorted Colors Square Chalk" (it costs about $7.00).
A more extensive set of Tempera Paints is on Amazon "U.S. Art Supply 18 Color Children's Washable Tempera Paint Set - 2-ounce bottles". This is a good set of paintbrushes on Amazon "Soucolor Acrylic Paint Brushes Set, 20Pcs Round Pointed Tip Artist Paintbrushes for Acrylic Painting Oil Watercolor Canvas Boards Rock Body Face Nail Art, Adult Kids Drawing Arts Crafts Supplies"
