Working with the Masters (Classroom, 50-60 minutes)
Students already know the artist’s story and have practiced their techniques. Now comes the magic.
Your classroom becomes an art studio. Students work with the same materials master artists used (oil pastels, metallic foil, sculpting clay, not cheap crayons) to create their own masterpieces in the artist’s style.
Teachers lead step-by-step using our detailed guides. Students follow along, adding their own creative touches. Even kids who usually say “I’m terrible at art” end up creating work that makes their parents cry at open house.
Every artist unit includes four different grade levels: Kindergarten, Beginner (grades 1-2), Intermediate (grades 3-4), and Advanced (grades 5-8). Same artist, same core lesson, but age-appropriate projects that challenge without overwhelming. Your 1st graders and 7th graders both succeed, just at different skill levels.
