Art Camp: Draw and Paint Famous Landmarks and Architecture
What's included
4 live meetings
3 hrs 20 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Each day in this class students will learn about a famous landmark from around the world and create an artwork inspired by it. We will begin our class with a discussion of each architectural landmark. Then I will lead students through a step by step demonstration of how to make their own masterpieces. Throughout the process students are encouraged to add their own creative touches to their artworks. As students work, I always make sure to provide feedback, encouragement, and additional instructions as needed. If time allows our young artists will have the opportunity to share their artwork with their classmates. **Although each demonstration will be finished by the end of class, students may need or wish to continue working on their masterpiece after we have signed off for the day. Everyone works at a different speed, and it's better to take our time than to rush!
