Each day in this class students will learn about a famous artist's masterpiece and create an artwork inspired by it.  We will begin our class with a discussion of our artist and their artwork.  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!  

Day 1: Cubist Faces like Picasso
Day 2: Mona Lisa
Day 3: Pointillist Dotted Landscapes with Seurat
Day 4: O'Keeffe Sunflower Up Close

Supplies Needed Each Day:
- 9x12 Thicker white paper suitable for painting (80lb weight or higher; I like Canson (100510941) XL Series Watercolor Pad, 9" x 12", Fold-Over Cover, 30 Sheets, but you make use what ever thicker paper you feel is best)
- Pencil with eraser
- Black Sharpie or other permanent black marker
- Crayons or oil pastels
- Watercolor set (Prang or Crayola recommended)
- Round watercolor brush (we will need a round tip for our Pointillism project)
- Container with water (a container with a wider base or a bowl is less likely to spill)
- Paper towels
**You may also want a piece of poster board or large paper to cover the work area.
