This winter, Orlando Museum of Art is offering Art Academy, which provides kids with the opportunity to explore their artistic abilities.

The Art for Everyone course is designed for elementary level students and is meant to be approachable by all levels of artistic interest.

In representative works of Monet, Picasso and Dali, students will do projects that explore elements and principles of design as these artists used them. Specifically, they will explore the use of color and light in Monet’s gardens, Picasso’s use of line and shape to convey states of motion, and Dali’s unique vision of the world as a form of individualistic expression.

The goal of this course is to give students a chance to explore a variety of media, to build awareness about the foundational elements of art (such as line, shape and color), and to make them aware of three major artistic movements, Impressionism, Cubism and Surrealism.

The Art Specifics course is designed to give students a foundation in the principles of drawing and the use of color. Dale Chihuly’s masterworks of glass and drawings will serve as examples and inspiration as students understand the steps used towards the creation of art. The goal of this course is the realization of the practicality of drawing and coloring in approaching art and art production.
