A favorite from last year, we will continue studying the work of great painters and artists, emulating their styles and techniques. We will add some new artists including Kandinsky, Klee, Munch and others to round out this fun, educational class that blends history and art.

Students will learn about fold art created by greats like Clementine Hunter, Theora Hamblett, Gees Bend Quilters and Moses Tolliver as well as others. Working with “found” supplies such as wood, paper bags and slate will add another dimension to our fold art. This will give real experience as to how the artists worked.
