Art Studio Schedule
“Thankful” Art: Thanksgiving is just around the corner! In the Art Studio observe Norman Rockwell’s painting “Freedom From Want” and draw a picture of what Thanksgiving looks like in your home!
Inspiration Art: Artists are often inspired by music to create art. Music can make you feel happy, sad, excited or nervous. While listening to the music of Bach, draw how it makes you feel!
Black and White: Robert Motherwell helped to change the face of American Art as an Abstract Expressionist. Try his technique out for yourself by using black ink on white paper.
