Continue learning about classic works of art in our Great Artists Series with Laura Nickel! She is back to lead three more visual art workshops, where you’ll explore a new Master Artist and create your own masterpiece using their techniques. See Resources below for each workshop description and materials list.

Workshop 1: Selfies (August 24 at 2pm)

In this hour-long workshop, students K–8 will look at self portraits done by the Master Artists, paying attention to the expression of emotion and symbolism. Content includes looking at self-portraits from the masters, a short tutorial on how to draw a head, a sample of simple facial expressions, and an opportunity to draw a self-portrait with facial expressions and symbolism.

Workshop 2: Crazy About Apples (August 31 at 2pm)

In this 50-minute long workshop, students K–8 will look at samples of still life paintings done by master artists, draw a still life of apples, and use a medium and style of their own choice (paint, pencil, oil pastel, watercolor, crayons or markers) to make their own still life.

Workshop 3: Pumpkin Fest (September 7 at 2pm)

In this 50-minute workshop, students will learn about Georgia O’Keeffe’s contribution to art history, called “American Modernism”. We will draw large pumpkins and learn to use color to show depth perception.
