Children will be introduced to great artists ( Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, Michelangelo, and Paul Klee to name just a few), and have opportunity to create their own masterpieces using inspiration and information gained from these artists. These classes combine art appreciation and art making for the young child that is developmentally appropriate . In the first portion of our classes, we will delve into these artists lives, and look at some of their famous works and have a discussion and share our thoughts. The second part of our class will consist of time allocated for children to create their own works of art, inspired by the work and lives of the famous artists presented. This semester course offers a lot of painting exploration, as well as the opportunity to explore sculpture and abstract drawing and collage.
