During this week-long art class, kids will work towards one final project. We will begin by using photography, photographing the “real world” around us. We will then learn how to take the photos and transfer them onto a canvas like the old masters would. Each day we will spend time drawing in a sketchbook, introducing some art history, looking at a different artist or style of art, while working on the completion of our final project: a painting. We will spend a majority of the time together, learning techniques around drawing and painting. During the day, we will also get a visit by a nutrition specialist from the University of Missouri who will teach us about healthy eating and provide an afternoon snack. Please bring a sack lunch and be ready to get creative!
