For thousands of years, artists have learned from observing famous paintings and you can too! Each day is devoted to a different Master - see how Boudin made quick marks to represent crowds on a beach, how Monet used light to create his famous paintings, and how Van Gogh used color and thick paint to create wonders of neo-impressionist art. By learning how to interpret classical painting techniques, students will use critical thinking to train their eyes into seeing past the surface of a painting while building their creativity to easily develop their own personal style. This practical approach includes fun snippets of art history while students work from photos of masterworks to create three of their own unique oil landscape paintings. The instructor will also supply examples of contemporary artists who employ similar techniques for added inspiration.
