The Secrets of Famous Artists class will offer art activities to expand the creative experience and awareness of children in visual arts.
The art projects are designed in the styles of the world’s famous artists.  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 only 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. 
Your child will be working on creative painting, drawing, and multimedia art projects and learn about famous artist in a fun and creative way.
The students will learn about different famous artists and  create artwork in the styles of Pablo Picasso, Emily Carr, Rene Magritte, Paul Klee, Alberto Giacometti, Friedrich Hundertwasser, Ton Schulten, Gustav Klimt, Paul Gauguin, Wassily Kandinsky, Georgia O'Keeffe, Grandma Moses, Van Gogh etc.
