Historia del arte: artistas famosos y movimientos artísticos (de 6 a 10 años) con Miss Una

In this Famous Artist / Art History class each week you will learn about a different artist and create artwork inspired by the artist using various materials, including watercolors, oil pastels, acrylic or tempera paint, markers, coloted pencils, paper collage.

The class will start with introductions. Then we will talk about the artist of the week (included will be all different artists from around the world, including Women and artists from many different cultures). You will learn a little about the artist of the "WEEK" through a brief slideshow. 

Your child can share if they know anything about the artist and we will talk about what we think of their painting style.

Note - This class needs 3 to take place.

Most weeks I will do a guided artwork that is inspired by the Artist. Then your learner can add their individual flair to it.

To experience this ongoing course it is good to stock up with various art supplies, each week I will post on the classroom what supplies to have ready.  If you don’t have something from the list, you can use whatever you do have.

The class will be interactive and we will share our artwork as we go along. I will guide you through the artwork each week, you may need to finish in your own time and share on the Classroom page.

At the end of class everyone shares their artwork and tells us a little about it.
