After School
|
I hope everyone is settled into school and ready to get down to the business of making fine art. I’m thinking of some new and different artistic endeavors that promise to be messy. Please make sure kids are dressed for mess for each class, and not wearing something they might ruin. If an artist wants to bring an apron or smock to hang here, please do. Ryan and I took advantage of this beautiful weather and did some plein air painting over at the Cordage pond.

We will be mindful and considerate, keep space between us, sanitize, and do our best to stay healthy. We’ll keep the masks on when inside. I’m depending on parents to stay on top of things as far as exposure goes. Max class size is 6. |
Variations on a Theme
I found this great tricycle at an antique store down the street, and saw it as a perfect educational opportunity. Drawing and painting this trike offers a myriad of lessons in foreshortening, perspective, proportion, values, shapes & angles, and so much more!

Still Summer
We’ve had so much fun doing Art Smorgasbord. This is the last week, and then everyone can focus on getting back into the swing of things for school. The after school classes will probably resume on September 14. Meanwhile, dig

I had so much fun with the littles last week; they were all great listeners and had excellent manners! We did clay, pastel still life of flowers, painted the clay, made fauve acrylic paintings, and had a birthday party too.

Learning from the Masters
We’re looking at masterworks and learning from the painters who painted them. Since we weathered the pandemic, and the kids had so little freedom last year, I’ve loosened up with the curriculum and am letting the students make more decisions about
