Why do artists study still lifes? It’s a great way to learn about the fundamental elements of art such as line, shape, value, texture, and shading. In this class, children will work in watercolor and acrylics to create wonderful paintings, and to apply what they have learned to explore collage techniques, adding texture to their work.
