Paint Like a Master Artist Each Week! Learn About Artists & Create Art Like Them

In this ongoing class we will explore a different master artist each week. We will talk briefly about the life of the artist, their work, and then  students will create their own masterpiece inspired by the work of that artist. 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 the artist that week, but in their own style and with their own personality and creativity. 

The class will be step by step allowing time for each learner to create their art and be proud of what they create. 
No experience is needed, but some parental help could be needed if the student is younger. 

The supplies may vary slightly each week, but most of the time the supplies listed here will work. I will send an email if different supplies are needed well in advance of each class (usually it's just a matter of having a permanent black marker). Generally here are the supplies that you will need on hand every week. 

- A watercolor set  
- A brush (any size will do) 
- A cup with water to clean the brush
- Set of crayons (or oil pastels)
- Heavy white paper (watercolor paper is preferred but not completely necessary) 
- Table protection (newspaper, butcher paper etc).
