Matisse by the Sea
Let’s go down to the seaside with fun art projects inspired by French artist Henri Matisse! Dive into whimsical seascapes and paint playful seahorses, a school of fish and bright coral. Artists will explore Matisse-inspired techniques like simplified shapes, expressive color choices, and creative cut-paper designs as they create ocean scenes filled with movement and imagination. From colorful coral reefs to sunny coastal views, this session invites young artists to celebrate the joy, energy, and endless creativity of Matisse.
This class will meet on one date, Thursday November 19th from 4:00-5:30 pm
Art Show Friday, November 20th 2:30-5:30 pm
Project for this class
Artists create a one-of-a-kind Matisse-inspired Seahorse Canvas filled with bold shapes and under-the-sea imagination. Beginning with a traced seahorse body, artists personalize their sea creature with unique details, colors and designs to make it completely their own. Around their seahorse, they’ll draw Matisse-inspired coral.
About this class:
Ready to take your art skills a step further?
Wonder Artists is for young artists who are ready to learn, create, and grow their skills in a fun and encouraging studio setting. Each month, artists will explore a new theme while learning how professional artists use the Elements of Art and Principles of Design to create strong, interesting artwork. Through direct instruction, demonstrations, practice, and hands-on projects, artists will learn the why behind the art—not just the how. Artists will explore concepts like line, shape, color, texture, value, space, balance, pattern, contrast, and more, then use what they learn to make their own creative choices.
In Wonder Artists, artists will:
🎨 Learn real art skills and techniques
🖌️ Explore the Elements of Art & Principles of Design
💡 Learn how artists make creative choices
✨ Take their time developing thoughtful, detailed artwork
🌈 Build confidence and grow their own artistic style
This class is a great fit for artists who are ready to listen, learn, practice, and stay engaged with a project from start to finish.
