Do you ever wonder where famous artists find their inspirations? In this ongoing club we will explore the world of famous artists. We will cover a diverse group of artists and a wide range of time periods. Each week there will be a new art project that we will create in the style of the master. Students will have fun learning about artists and creating their own inspired drawing or painting.

During class students will learn about a famous artist and create their own masterpiece inspired by that artist. I also love to share stories and facts from the artists' lives. After a discussion about our artist and their artwork- students will be guided through a step-by-step demonstration showing how to draw and paint their own artwork based on our artist of the week.  

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 art piece based on the artist that week, but in their own style and with their own personality and creativity. The class will be step by step but allows time for each learner to create their art piece and be proud of what they create. 

This class will offer art activities to expand creative experiences and awareness in visual arts. Students will explore the styles and techniques of the world’s greatest artists. Each art process will focus on one style of the artist. A brief biography of the artist will add depth and interest to the project. The most important aspects of the art projects are discovery exploration and individual creativity. While learning new art techniques and discovering different styles, it is still up to the children to decide exactly how their art will turn out. 

While my directions are detailed, and I want students to become familiar with our famous artists, I also want students to be able to express their own creative voice. I encourage students to add their own unique details to make their artwork truly their own. As students work, I always make sure to provide feedback, encouragement, and additional instructions as needed. At the end of class our young artists will have the opportunity to share their artwork with their classmates.

*Although each demonstration will be finished by the end of class, students may want to continue working on their masterpiece after class. Everyone works at a different speed, and it's better to take our time than to rush!

*No prior knowledge of art skills or techniques is needed for this class.
