WOW Effects! Just like onomatopoeia these lessons have WOW effects! From jumping lines to colorful geometrics to roads sending us off into the horizon, we’ll learn about making an impression. It may be a colorful yet soft impression like in our chalk pastel creations that are in the style of Diego Rivera. He depicted everyday life in the Mexican countryside. It may be a bold impression such as our pop art designs with Benday Dots like the work of Roy Lichtenstein. Other thought-provoking impressions are made through lines that seem to move, an unusual abstract still life, and much more! This will impress you!Lessons in the first session include Roy Lichtenstein, Geometric Jumble Doodle, Diego Rivera, and an Artist Challenge, while the second session covers Carlo Marini, Jumping Lines Doodle, Heinz Kirchner, and a Gene Davis Artist Challenge.

We learn about the bright colors and tropical fish of New Guinea represented in the work of Nathalie Le Riche. Read about Mr. Plumbean’s odd house in “The Big Orange Spot” and explore the texture and symbolism of rock art. Our art is as distinctive as it is sparkly, pearly and full of visual texture!
