Take inspiration from important artists of the past and learn from their technique and style. We will learn from Georgia O'Keeffe's enlarged and cropped observational paintings of flowers, Henri Rousseau's colorful jungle scenes, Vincent van Gogh's thick impasto application of paint, Claude Monet's focus on color and natural light, and more. Students will create their own works of art with similar techniques.

  • Please pack a daily snack and drink for your child.
  • Materials are included in tuition.
