Young Masters (Contemporary Art)
Learning the basics—color, line, shape, space, form, value & texture—inspired by famous artists opens up a child’s capacity to actualize their imaginations. Art opens us up to new worlds of possibilities. Learn about an artist every month, explore several of their works and do activities to apply their techniques. Each monthly unit also includes a book recommendation and element inspired by their work.
