Open to ages 7+
8 Wednesdays beginning September 21, 4:00-6:00pm
Paint your own masterpieces inspired by different artists, from different art movements in history. We will spend the first 15-30 minutes of each class looking at paintings of 1-3 artists from an art movement in history, and talking about their painting style. In the rest of the session, we’ll paint out own unique, individual masterpieces, inspired by that style. Note: no class 10/12.
