CREATING ART LIKE A MODERN ARTIST
Students will travel back in time to the nineteenth century and find out why artists didn’t care if anybody thought their work was messy or distorted or odd or even ugly. As we create fractured faces like Picasso, dab paint on the page to create Monet-like reflections and invent a strange tropical forest like Rousseau, we will learn how each of these artists was seeing the world. People no longer cared if a picture looked exactly like the thing it was supposed to represent. What was it they were telling us? Find out for yourself as you create your own modern art.
Instructor: Ms. Shusta
