Art Campers Celebrate – One with 4 Generations!!!

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , on October 11, 2011| Leave a Comment »

We had a great opening reception for the art campers yesterday afternoon at the Community Center.  Many of the students were there and lots of art admirers to encourage their work.

It was good to see the students showing off their work to their family and friends.

 

 

 

And I especially loved that Jackson Pond has four generations of his family there to help him celebrate his art! 

Good job everyone.  The Art Campers Art Display will be at the Community Center until the first week in November.  Please stop by and see their wonderful art for yourself!

Art Camp – Matisse

Posted in Art Camp, Art Class, tagged , , , , , on August 26, 2011| Leave a Comment »

 Over the ages it has been a common practice for artists to copy famous painters work in order to learn technique, style, and color mixing.   Degas, Monet, Renoir, and many of the famous names you will recognize applied and received copiers permission to copy paintings in the Louvre. 

Following in their footsteps, our Art Campers are learning about a variety of artists this week by copying famous paintings.  They  completed their Matisse painting.  They turned out great.

Today we will finish up art camp by finishing our Picassos and our Van Goghs!  Good job everyone.

 This week’s theme at Art Camp is a combination of several types of art.  Yesterday at Art Camp we talked about Modern Art.  We began painting a Matisse.  You see Tyler here working on his.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once we got the Matisse to a good place, we went on to work on a Picasso.  (It is Modern Day, after all!)

Here is the young artists at work on their “masterpiece”!

Stay tuned and the finished paintings will be posted.

Art Camp Week 5 – Monet’s Poppies

The final week of Art Camp for the summer began yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. 

We started by painting the color wheel and learning about color mixing.  Then the young artists went on to learn about Monet and we painted this lovely version of Monet’s poppy field using just the three basic colors – red, yellow, and blue, plus white. 

Can you believe they did this with just those colors?  Great job guys!

Yesterday the famous painter that we discussed was Jackson Pollack.  Then we went outside to immolate his style by painting with sticks to drip and splatter the canvas.

Of course, this was the most fun the kids have had painting so far.  Here they are with their finished paintings and at work:

Famous Painters Art Week

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , on August 9, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I have been so impressed with the young artists I have met this summer during the weeks of Art Camp that we have been having at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.  We have been having loads of fun painting wonderful art.

Today another camp started – Famous Painters week.  We started as always with the color wheel and making all these colors just using yellow, red and blue.

Then we painted like the first famous artist we are studying this week, Monet.  And we only used those three colors -yellow, blue and red, plus white to create this entire painting.

What do you think?  Didn’t they do a fantastic job!!!???
