This class will cover several elements of art in a zoom conference format. We will look at and discuss Van Gogh's work. Then taking inspiration from his landscape and how he used space to show how the irises twist and grow in the foreground. After looking at his use of color we will add to our piece paint (either tempera or acrylic) learning how to create a field of irises in a variety of hues. Finishing will black for emphasis we will complete this project. The first class we will look at Van Gogh's work as an artist. Talk about how he used the elements and principles of art. Using our inspiration from his artwork there will be a guided drawing to being the students own masterpiece. We will look at how he painted and begin our first layer. The second class we will discuss color mixing and how to use analogous colors to create a variety of hues for the irises. Finishing our artwork with bold black lines will give us contrast and emphasis.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a lifelong artist. All of my adult life I have been in the studio creating and sharing projects with others. Everything from scrapbooking, to lettering to painting and mixed media. Currently I own a mobile art studio in Northern California providing art classes to homeschool and local districts. Not only do I teach children but adults as well.
I love to look at others artists work and how they have used the elements of art to create their art. I find it inspiring and like to challenge myself in using their way of creating or their thought process to learn new ways to create.
