Would you rather paint a picture or learn about a famous artist? In this class, you can do both. You will learn a little about a different famous artist each week and then use their art to inspire our own acrylic paintings while we socialize. Each learner should choose their own paint colors. While there will be a demonstration, creativity is encouraged. Get your reactions ready in case a game of Would You Rather breaks out. 
The class will be structured as follows:
Greetings
Demonstration 
Painting and Socializing
Virtual Art Gallery
This engaging class introduces a new renowned artist every week, fostering a deep appreciation for art history while nurturing young creative minds. With a strong focus on inspiration and self-expression, this class is meant to  empower children to develop their artistic skills and explore their unique imagination.
Each week, we dive into the vibrant world of a different famous artist, immersing our young learners in the diverse art styles and techniques that have shaped the art world. From Pablo Picasso's bold cubism to Vincent van Gogh's expressive brushwork, we cover a wide range of artistic styles and movements.
Through interactive virtual lessons, the learners are guided through the fascinating lives and works of these influential artists. They learn a little about the artists' backgrounds, and their style of art.
After the exploration of the artist's life, our budding artists embark on an exciting creative journey of their own. Armed with newfound knowledge and inspiration, children select a piece of art by the featured artist of the week as a launching pad for their imaginative projects. Whether they paint a similar rendition of the artwork they are inspired by, or pick something in the artwork to inspire their own masterpiece,  the learners are encouraged to let their creativity soar.
In this nurturing virtual environment, children receive personalized attention and constructive feedback. They are empowered to experiment with different styles,  colors, and techniques, fostering artistic growth and self-confidence.
At the end of each class, our young artists proudly showcase their unique creations during a virtual art gallery, celebrating their accomplishments This allows children to learn various styles of art, exchange ideas, and develop a deeper appreciation for the diversity of artistic expression.
Join this captivating art class for children and unlock the limitless potential of creativity. Let their imaginations flourish as they embark on a magical journey through art history!

The learners will get to interact with me and other learners throughout the lesson. Socialization is encouraged.
Each week, a different famous artist will be introduced. A little background information about the artist will be shared along with samples in the style of the artist's work. The learners will select an artwork of the highlighted artist to use as their inspiration for their own works of art. The students will then create a piece of art in the style of that artist. The class will conclude with a virtual art gallery in which the learners are encouraged to show off their masterpieces.

Students will learn about the painting styles of each artist. My teaching style is informal. While the students are painting, they will be encouraged to socialize with each other as well as with me. Slides will be shown to demonstrate the various paintings created by each artist. A step-by-step demonstration of creating a painting in the style of the artist will be given.
There is no previous knowledge needed.

*** I do not cancel classes due to low enrollment.
