A Year of Art Lessons

by Jennifer Cooper, posted on April 30th, 2013 in Art School

A year ago, I asked Deborah Harju to develop a series of Art Lessons to share here on Classic Play. The idea was to offer parents lessons they could share with their kids who either: didn’t have art programs in their schools (thanks to budget cuts), were homeschooling, or simply wanted ideas for projects they could do with their kids.

It’s been an incredible year! We’ve explored modern sculpture, how to make our own watercolors, neo-plasticism, pointillism, how to draw, art from various countries, architecture, weaving, studying figures, and so much more. Let’s take a look…
