Marianne von Werefkin
This all-in-one art box, inspired by Expressionist painter Marianne von Werefkin, is filled with bold colors and dramatic intensity! Young artists will learn what inspired Expressionists to use such powerful hues and have the opportunity to craft their own dramatic artwork.
The art box kicks off with a biography of von Werefkin that includes historical events that influenced her life and her most influential artwork. Then it’s time to jump into the art projects! Kids will explore texture and color as they create their own versions of von Werefkin’s art. They’ll also work through a technique lesson, utilizing two methods for painting reflections. In the final project, they’ll create a colorful 3D piece of art that’s filled with drama and unique materials.

Reflection Techniques
In this technique lesson, kids will practice making reflections in two ways. They'll use the concept of symmetry to draw a design on a foam plate and create a reflection by flipping it. Then they'll paint a scene and add just a bit of water so it transfers its reflection. Both projects are open-ended, allowing young artists to experiment with the techniques in their own way.Login to Watch Video
