In this 4 week flexible schedule class we will learn about 4 different artists (Hockney, Miro, Chagall, and Haring) and create art pieces that are inspired by their work. We will talk about their genre of art, create pieces to be proud of, and learn about the artists through interactive games and scavenger hunts. 

Learners will post pictures and/or video of their work (and their works in progress) on the classroom page so that fellow learners and the teacher can give feedback and encouragement on their pieces. It will be uplifting and helpful to the students and peer feedback will be fun! 
Students will also engage with each other with interactive online games, scavenger hunts, fun trivia and games about the artists we will be talking about each week!  
Here are the highlights for each week! 

Week 1 - Keith Haring - We will discuss his life and his passion for the world.  We will discuss his piece called KH02, and students will then create their own masterpiece using crayon, marker, and watercolor based on his painting. 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 piece based on this piece, but in their own style and with their own personality and creativity. They will post pictures of their work on the classroom page so that we can give feedback and encouragement to each learner. 

Week 2 - David Hockney - We will talk about Hockney's life, his inspirations, and some of his most famous works. He is considered one of Britain's most influential artists of the 20th century. He was not only a painter, but a photographer and also a huge influence on the pop art movement in the 1960s. We will have some fun facts and online game interaction during the week. 

Week 3 - Joan Miro - We will have fun exploring the Spanish artist Joan Miro. We will be looking at his abstract work and explore his piece called Woman and Bird at Night 1947. We'll talk about his life and his work,  We will re-create his beautiful artwork using crayon, marker, and watercolor and students will have fun adding their own creativity to their piece. We will have some games and interaction that is based on his work. 

Week 4 - Marc Chagall - During this week we will look at the artist Marc Chagall. He is a French artist who was influenced by the cubist and abstract movements at the time. We will talk about his life and work and we will re-create one of his pieces using watercolor and crayon. We will do some puzzles related to this artist and the era.

The classes will be step by step allowing time for each learner to create their piece and be proud of what they create. The videos will be clear and provide at least 2 angles.

No experience is needed, but some parental help could be needed with the painting parts if the student is younger.
