The Great Painters - Learn Art History & Create Stunning Artworks! 8-12

In this class, you will learn all about the most famous artists and some of their most important works! From Van Gogh to Picasso, this is a fun and engaging weekly ongoing class. 

Each lesson is unique and structured around the story of the artist. We go over their background, their personal style, their famous artworks, and conclude with an interactive session where we get to make our own artwork in the style of that artist! 

My teaching style is very visual and hands-on, making the learning experience tactile and memorable. This class is a great opportunity not just to learn about art but also unleash your own creativity! 

LEARNING GOALS:
At the end of each lesson, I love to ask students “What is one thing you learned from today?” My goal is not for students to remember all the facts or details about the artists, but rather the overall story, and why their work is important. It’s also my goal to empower my students to become better artists by implementing techniques of the masters.
