Art For Little Eyes – March Workshop
Hello! I hope you all are having a wonderful week!? Since Spring is around the corner, I thought it would be fun to paint The Goldfish by French Artist, Henri Matisse.♥
“From the moment I held the box of colors in my hands, I knew this was my life.” – Henri Matisse
Children will be able to learn about Henri Matisse who was a painter, draftsman, sculptor, and printmaker. Known for his use of color, his work is regarded as responsible for laying the foundation for modern plastic arts. He was part of the Fauvism art movement (known as a “wild” way of painting–way less of seeing the world than of feeling it with one’s eyes). In the workshop, kids will learn about Matisse while having fun with color, shapes, images and the art techniques that go into painting The Goldfish. 
“Art for Little Eyes” will begin at 10am on Saturday, March 25th. I want to make sure we have ample time to paint, so our painting time is two (2) hours for the workshop. Therefore, the kids workshop will be from 10am – noon (12pm).
Looking forward to working with your children to provide a space to encourage them in the creative process. I have included all the details below. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Children, Ages 5 – 13, will have fun recreating this Henri Matisse painting.
We provide everything with your ticket- just show up on March 25th!
$25 a ticket includes:
• 2 hours of instruction/painting event at our Wyndhurst Art Studio
• All necessary supplies, including paints, brushes, easels, aprons/shirts, canvas and clean-up.
• 11 x 14-inch painting for each child to take home
• No painting experience necessary!
Art For Little Eyes is a fun, creative, and non-judgmental environment with guidance every step of the way through your own masterpiece. You will be amazed at what your child can create in a short amount of time!

I’ve always loved Matisse’s art – so innocent and you couldn’t have picked a better artist to show children how important it is to feel with one’s eyes. I would love to have been closer to you to be able to send my kids for one of your workshops. You are the ideal art teacher that let’s people explore their inside eye without letting their brains take over. I’ll be eternally grateful that I met you on the big vast internet.
