Art Schedule

We’ve had a lot of snow days over the past few weeks, but spring has sprung at the Top! I love using works from artist friends as teaching tools. For our nests, we looked at the gorgeous work of Eileen Casey. Last week we looked at Mike Beeman‘s birds. He is one of my favorite contemporary artists, as his work informs us on so many levels. He’s my go-to guy for Santas and birds, and showing students how each little mark comes together to create meaning on the page. Enjoy the artwork from last week, and scroll down for the schedules.

Perspective Plus!
Last week we paid attention to one-point perspective. It’s an important lesson to remember about how the horizon and vanishing point impact a composition, and keeping things like buildings, trees, windows and doors logical sizes, and parallel with the page edges.

We have a lot to learn from the masters, and last week we looked at a lot of masterworks, and the self portraits of a bunch famous masters. It’s not surprising that there were hardly any female painters back in
