My baby and me

My Baby and Me is a class designed for caregivers
strengthen their bond with babies, while the little ones
develop motor skills, color identification and
textures, as well as their artistic expression.

Parents, family members or guardians of the baby will learn basic concepts of art, the lives of different artists and their techniques, while helping their babies explore various tools to create lines, shapes, stains and ideas on paper.

Some of the artists we will see are:

1. Piet Mondrian a. Focus: Lines and primary colors b. Key concepts: Understand the use of lines and primary colors (red, blue, yellow) to create abstract compositions.

3. Vincent van Gogh a. Focus: Texture and complementary colors b. Key concepts: Analyze how texture is created with brush strokes and the use of complementary colors (opposite colors on the color wheel) to achieve vibrant and dynamic works.
4. Wassily Kandinsky a. Focus: Circles and analogous colors b. Key concepts: Study the use of circles in compositions and the application of analogous colors (adjacent colors on the color wheel) to achieve harmony and unity in abstract art.
