Pastels with the Masters (Entering Grades 1-2)

This Young Rembrandts' Pastel Art workshop will focus on five different artists. Each day, we will create a large, original pastel drawing replicating a famous artist's masterpiece. We will draw a colorful goldfish bowl as Henri Matisse did in his Goldfish painting. On day two, we will recreate Vincent Van Gogh's famous Starry Night complete with swirls throughout the sky. On day three, we will create powerful still life full of robust color as Paul Cezanne did often in his paintings. Day four will find us drawing Van Gogh's Harvest at Le Crau. On the final day, we will draw as Thiebald did for his Cake Paintings. Each day will challenge us with the pastel media. But in the end we will be Masters ourselves. You will want the drawings framed! No experience necessary.
