In this class:

We will explore the artwork of Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent Van Gogh. We will learn about their lives and their art . We will learn about art basics including color, lines, subject matter, and techniques. We will look at art by the masters and discuss what they mean to us. Then we will create a work of art inspired by the art of the masters in this 5-day art class.

Day 1: We will study Claude Monet and create an artwork inspired by Monet's "Garden at Giverny"
Day 2: We will study Pablo Picasso and create an artwork inspired by Picasso's "Still Life with Pears"
Day 3: We will study Vincent Van Gogh and create an artwork inspired by Van Gogh's "Starry Night"

If you would like another day or time for this class, please contact me.

I encourage children to participate fully in my classes. All of the art projects are designed for the student's age. They should be able to complete the projects themselves. You know your children and their skill level. If you think they will need assistance, you are welcome to assist however they should be allowed to express their inner artist. Art is not about perfection at this age, it is about expression.

Materials needed for this class:

You will need a good set of paints and paintbrushes (acrylics or Tempera will work) with at least red, blue, yellow, white, and black available, two cups half-filled with water, paper towels, a plastic plate or a palette, white art paper or heavy paper, a sharp pencil, and an eraser.
