In this one time class we will talk briefly about Hokusai as an artist, we will discuss his Wave print and then students will create their own masterpiece using crayon, watercolor, and some acrylic. We will talk about color, composition, creativity, and also the proper use of materials and clean up. The students will be able to create their piece based on his print, but in their own style and with their own personality and creativity. The class will be step by step allowing time for each learner to create their piece and be proud of what they create. No experience is needed, but some parental help could be needed if the student is younger. Please look at the supplies list for everything needed for this lesson! Each learner will need: - A watercolor set - A brush (any size will do) - A cup with water to clean the brush - Set of crayons (or oil pastels) - Heavy white or off white paper (watercolor paper is preferred but not completely necessary) - Table protection (newspaper, butcher paper etc). - A smock or old t shirt to protect clothing from the paint

Parental Guidance
