Sticks, corn cobs, string, paint brushes and sponges – we will use a wide variety of materials to drip, splatter, flick, dab and spread paint to create an image.

Vincent’s Sunflowers

CHILDREN, Ages 6-12

Our young artists will follow in the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh by directly observing sunflowers in a vase and capturing what they see in acrylic on canvas. This will be an indoor activity.

Van Gogh was drawn to sunflowers and painted 11 versions during his career. He felt that they had the warmth of the sun and represented friendship. In fact, most of the sunflower paintings he made were to welcome another famous painter and friend Paul Gauguin to his home.

Bonnard’s Garden

CHILDREN, Ages 10-14

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was fascinated by color. In his paintings the sky would not necessarily be blue and the trees would not be brown and green.

Taking inspiration from his work, we will go outside and make sketches of the garden and grounds of the school, making note of the radical colors we wish to use in our compositions. We will then return indoors to make paintings on easels using acrylic paint on canvas.
