The “Masterpiece”

Posted in Art Camp, Art Class, tagged , , , , , , on July 14, 2012| 1 Comment »

At the end of Art Camp week we always paint a “masterpiece”.  This week it was Van Gogh’s Starry Night and we painted it on a 16″x20″ canvas.  You can see how large it is with the young artists holding their finished work.  What a fabulous job they all did.  Don’t you love it.

Day 3 and 4 of Art Camp

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , on July 13, 2012| Leave a Comment »

 Day 3 of Post-Impressionism Art Camp had us painting a copy of one of Cezanne’s Still Life with Apples.  The young artists did a fabulous job with color mixing.

Then we did a quick miniature painting of a barn and even framed it. 

Day 4 we spent almost the entire morning working on a copy of Matisse’s Red Fish.   I love Matisse and while it was the hardest painting we have done in camp so far, the young artists did GREAT!   For the final day of camp we are doing our “masterpiece”, an extra-large painting of Van Gogh’s Starry Night.    I’ll share it with you in the next post.  Stay tuned!

This energetic group of young artists are doing splendid work!

Art Campers Paint

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , on July 11, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Art Camp started this week with three enthusiastic painters, Isaac, Mia and Peyton.  The first thing we painted was the color wheel while we learned about color mixing.

  Next we painted a mountain landscape scene to learn more about paints, brushes, canvas, and palettes.

 

 

 

This week our emphasis for study is Post-Impressionism so we paid homage to Boudin with a copy of his “Two Dogs in the Street”.

 

And Gauguin’s “The Siesta”. 

Can you believe we did all of us this in just two days?

Stay tuned to see what other lovely paintings these young artist make before the end of the week.

Degas’ Horses

Degas’s Horses is an acrylic measuring 11″x14″.  It is available at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.   This demonstration piece is one that I did this summer at Art Camp during famous painters week.  One way that artists over the ages have learned to paint is by copying the masters.  I simplified Degas’s painting so the kids could paint it.
