In this 4 week flexible schedule class we will learn about 4 different artists (Pissarro, Monet, Cezanne, and Sisley ) and create art pieces that are inspired by their work. We will talk about their genre of art, create pieces to be proud of, and learn about the artists through interactive games trivia, fun facts, and scavenger hunts. 

Learners will post pictures and/or video of their work (and their works in progress) on the classroom page so that fellow learners and the teacher can give feedback and encouragement on their pieces. It will be uplifting and helpful to the students and peer feedback will be fun! 
Students will also engage with each other in art scavenger hunts, fun trivia and games about the artists we will be talking about each week!  
Here are the highlights for each week! 

Week 1 - Camille Pissarro - We will discuss Pissarro's interesting life as an Impressionist painter. We will talk about his colorful spring piece called The Louvre Morning Spring, and then students will create their own spring masterpiece using crayon and watercolor. 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 one of his beautiful piece, but in their own style and with their own personality and creativity. They will post pictures of their work on the classroom page so that we can give feedback and encouragement to each learner. 

Week 2 - Alfred Sisley- We will discuss his various works and his life as painter who is a lesser known Impressionist. We will talk about his colorful and rich work and his style and how it differed from other Impressionists at the time.

Students will also have a chance to do some fun extra games with each other that involve his work.

We will play a few interactive games that are Impressionist themed as well as interaction with their art pieces with each other and the teacher. 

Week 4 - Paul Cezanne - During this week we will look at the artist Paul Cezanne. We will look at his life and how he created his post-impressionism and expressionism pieces.
