Service Description

Each week, we will take inspiration from a famous Impressionist portrait, studying how these artists used light, color, and movement to bring their subjects to life. Kids will learn to observe facial expressions, experiment with different mark-making techniques, and develop their own artistic style. No prior experience is necessary—just a love for creativity and a willingness to explore! Featured Portraits: - Portrait of the Actress Jeanne Samary – Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1878) - Portrait of Berthe Morisot with a Bouquet of Violets – Édouard Manet (1872) - Head of a Young Woman – Edgar Degas (1867) - Woman with Capeline – Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1872) - Portrait of Jean Renoir – Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1910) - Self-Portrait with a Beret – Claude Monet (1886) - Self-Portrai – Vincent van Gogh (1889) - Young Girl in a Straw Hat – Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1884) Through guided exercises, fun discussions, and hands-on practice, kids will build confidence in drawing faces while also gaining an appreciation for art history. The class will emphasize self-expression, allowing each child to bring their unique perspective to their artwork. By the end of the course, students will have completed a series of portraits inspired by these Impressionist masterpieces, developing their artistic skills in an encouraging and supportive environment.
