Description

In this three-week course, young artists will explore the vibrant and visually stimulating world of Pop Art while focusing on cityscapes. Students will gain hands-on experience with a variety of painting techniques such as layering, texture, and color blocking. They will also learn how to incorporate pop culture elements and iconic city landmarks into their artwork. The course offers an in-depth look at color theory, composition, and modern art history, allowing students to create their own Pop Art cityscapes using acrylic paints.

Course Outcomes for Elementary Students - 

A deep understanding of layering techniques for depth and texture
Mastery of color blocking to create impactful compositions
Ability to incorporate iconic elements into artwork
A foundational knowledge of Pop Art history

Requirements - 
A curious and interested mind, no experience is necessary for this course.  

Materials - 
All regular course materials are included, though students may bring in things from home for the sculpture work.  We'll happily store them throughout the class so they have it! Students may receive lists of supplies if they would like to practice at home after the course ends.
