Exploring the Elements of Art
Exploring the Elements of Art
Young artists will explore the building blocks of art—line, shape, and color—through playful, hands-on projects. Using scissors, glue, paint, and colorful paper, students will discover how simple shapes can transform into flowers, animals, and abstract designs. Each class will include a mix of art history and artmaking—introducing students to influential artists such as Yayoi Kusama and then creating original works inspired by their styles. The emphasis is on creativity, exploration, and the joy of making something new to share at home.
