Kid's Art History in Acrylics with Ember Estridge

Learn about famous artists and their paintings through acrylic! Acrylics dry rapidly, serve as a vehicle for any kind of pigment, and are capable of giving both the transparent brilliance of watercolor and the density of oil paint.

Ember will be teaching about the following artists and their famous paintings: Pop artist Andy Warhol and his 1962 Cambell’’s soup can series, Modern artist Van Gogh and his 1889 painting Starry Night, and Cubist artist Picasso and his abstracted faces.

About the Teacher:

I make illustrative art that is explorative and eclectic in nature. Using vivid colors and whimsical themes, I seek to use art as a tool for coping and overcoming the discordant world we live in. Creating both sequential mass consumption pieces as well as stand-alone gallery pieces, I desire my work to captivate a wide audience.

As an art educator in public Title 1 schools, much of my work is inspired and created around the classroom. I tailor projects and lessons to engage and motivate students, impacting my own art making in the process. The resourcefulness and inventiveness of creating art projects accessible to a wide range of students and ages allows me to see multiple possibilities for each art material.
