We will explore the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe, and Vasily Kandinsky and the art movements they inspired. We will learn about art basics including color, lines, subject matter, and techniques. We will look at art by the masters and discuss what they mean to us. Then we will create a work of art inspired by the art of the masters in this 5-day art class.

If you would like another day or time for this class, please contact me.

I encourage children to participate fully in my classes. All of the art projects are designed for the student's age. They should be able to complete the projects themselves. You know your children and their skill level. If you think they will need assistance, you are welcome to assist however they should be allowed to express their inner artist. Art is not about perfection at this age, it is about expression.
