Art Through The Ages – French Rococo

Are you interested in learning more about the history of art? Want to know more about what defines each art movement? Are you curious to try different art mediums in a supported environment? Join us for Art Through the Ages! A multi-week tour through some of the greatest art movements of all time, and a creative exploration of common art supplies.

Each class consists of a 30-minute lecture where you will explore and discuss key concepts, stylistic features, and iconic artists from each art movement. Following the lecture, you will dive into a creative project inspired by the current period and learn how to use various art mediums. (Example- Impressionism and watercolor flowers)

Join us as we learn about key moments in art history and try to recreate different art styles as we progress through time! Come learn about Prehistoric art, Pop Art, and everything in between.

In this session we will learn about French Rococo (1699-1780) and the project will be Model Magic emblems and flourishes.
