アートキャンプ: 4 人の有名アーティストのように絵を描いてみよう

**Note:  This is an "Art Camp" which meets four days in a row.  If you would like to take this class on the same day and time over four weeks please see my Draw and Paint Like Four Famous Artists class.

Each day in this class students will learn about a famous artist's masterpiece and create an artwork inspired by it.  We will begin our class with a discussion of our artist and their artwork.  Then I will lead students through a  step by step demonstration of how to make their own masterpieces.  Throughout the process students are encouraged to add their own creative touches to their artworks.  As students work, I always make sure to provide feedback, encouragement, and additional instructions as needed.  If time allows 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 need or wish to continue working on their masterpiece after we have signed off for the day.  Everyone works at a different speed, and it's better to take our time than to rush!  

Day 1: The Great Wave by Hokusai
Day 2: Waterlilies by Monet
Day 3: Starry Night by Van Gogh
Day 4: Tiger in a Tropical Storm by Rousseau 

Supplies Needed:
- 9x12 Thicker white paper or watercolor paper (80lbs. weight or higher is usually strong enough to paint on; I like Canson's watercolor or mixed media pads)

- Pencil with eraser

- Black permanent Sharpie marker (must be a permanent marker)

- Oil pastels and/or crayons (non-washable)

- Watercolor set (a pan set; I like Prang or Crayola because they come with a quality brush, but other brands are fine; please no tubes of watercolor paint as they can be harder for young artist to use)

- Watercolor brush (usually your watercolor set will come with one, make sure it is soft and pliable not stiff and plastic)

- Container with water (a container with a wider base or a bowl is less likely to spill)

- Paper towels

**You may also want a piece of poster board or large paper to cover the work area.
