Update on my classes

Image
We are well into our "spring" semester and this is what I'm teaching: Fine Art Painting - Acrylics . Here is the mid way point in their first painting. They all brought in photos of their pet. We traced the photo using carbon paper and then focused on painting their values to complete the image. Art of the Masters - these happy (and active) 7-10 year olds have thus far painting like Monet and Jackson Pollack, well, almost. Middle School Art Attack - I renamed this class this semester, for obvious reasons. We just completed a large mural of Abraham Lincoln ( thanks to blogger Kathy Barbro http://artprojectsforkids.me/product/lincoln-mural/ ). I think it turned out great! Now to put it up on the wall. I am going to be taking an acrylic painting class for 4 weeks in February from Arizona artist Amy Whitehouse ( http://amywhitehousepaintings.blogspot.com/ ) Looking forward to learning more about art!! Happy painting!
