ARTS & CRAFTS
PRE-SCHOOL LITTLE ARTIST Young Rembrandts classes will challenge and excite your budding artist while prepare your child as a lifelong learner. Drawings like the marbles will help your preschooler master the art of creating a circle, a deceptively simple yet complex shape. The acorn and apple tree drawing will strengthen your child’s compositional skills and use of colors. Basic facial and figure drawing will also be addressed as our students learn to draw a funny clown and scarecrow. These are just a few of the many great lessons our students will learn. Enroll your child in a Young Rembrandts class. THEY WILL LOVE IT! Instructor: Young Rembrants Course #

SPECIALTY
PASTEL DRAWING 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 Andre Derain’s Portrait of Matisse. 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. Please wear an old shirt or smock to class each day. Instructor: Young Rembrants Course #
