Class Experience

American Art History: Jean-Michel Basquiat Exploring Graffiti Art

At the start of class, we will talk about the life of Jean-Michel Basquiat and what influenced his art style.  We will review early artworks by the artist and later artworks by Basquiat. Students will learn about the famous “crown” symbol that was represented in his artwork. We will also review current fashion trends inspired by the artist. 

After the brief introduction into the artworks of Jean-Michel Basquiat students will bring out their art supplies and create their own graffiti style artwork inspired by the artist. 

Class is structured to be fun and inviting. I want all my learners to feel welcomed and I invite learners to ask questions and interact with the class if the student feels comfortable.  

Learners will interact with me through a lecture video chat and step by step art instruction. I use slides during lecture and my art studio board as we work through creating our artwork together. 

There is no experience or previous knowledge learners will need to complete this class. 

Topics we cover:
Jean-Michel Basquiat Art, Life & Influence  
Art Studio Time - Shoe Art

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My journey in the arts started in middle school after visiting the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The school's art teacher noticed how intrigued I was with each painting and encouraged me to join the art club. In college I continued to learn everything I could about art by studying Art History.  When I'm not teaching art I paint live at local events and spend time with family.  

I teach private and group classes for Procreate, Art Fundamentals, Painting, Fashion Drawing, Weekly African American & Afro-Caribbean Art History and Adobe Illustrator. Ages 6-18 

Thank you for visiting my class and I look forward to sharing my art knowledge with you!
