The Nutcracker Ballet tells the story of young Clara Stahlbaum, who receives a Nutcracker on Christmas Eve. Later that night, the Nutcracker comes to life and battles the great Mouse King, which leads him and Clara on a fantastical journey.
In this course, we create five pieces inspired by the Nutcracker ballet in a colorful, crazy, abstract style: the Nutcracker, a Christmas Tree, the Mouse King, the Grandmother Clock, and of course, the Sugar Plum Fairy.
The supplies list for all lessons:
- 8×10 inch canvas
- acrylic paints (red, pink, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, purple, black, white, gold)
- black paint pen or sharpie
- individual templates (provided in each lesson)
