The French painter, Henri Matisse, will be discussed. This is a great class for originality and self-expression. Students will draw, paint, cut and paste pieces of paper onto a surface. Students learn to draw dinosaurs and then add to their drawings in a relief form. Their dinosaurs come alive and look like they are coming out of the paper.
Students learn drawing skills and techniques of shading while having fun drawing.
Mothers and daughters are encouraged to take this class together. This is a fun class which develops creativity in drawing. Students will learn the elementary skills in working with the airbrush. Some of the art they will create is painting with Ink in Sumi-e paintings and writing in Japanese Kangi on rice paper. This is a very interesting class taught by a teacher who went to Japan in the fall of 2000 as a Fullbright recipient.
