Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , on July 31, 2011| Leave a Comment »

The final painting during Modern Art Week Camp was a study of Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Can.

And look at the fabulous job each of these young artists did with their painting.

All ten students did beautiful work this whole week. 

There are only two weeks of art camp left this summer.  The week of August 8 and the week of August 22.  Both of these weeks will explore a variety of styles from impressionism to modern.  There are only a couple of slots left in each week so sign your young artist up now.  Email me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com .

Art Camp Masters!

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , on July 29, 2011| 1 Comment »

Yesterday I gave you a tease of the Art Campers painting “Matisse”.  Well here is the finished painting.  SUPER!!!!

This is Modern Week at Art Camp and we have been doing some really fun pieces after Matisse, Warhol, & Johns.  And we’ve discussed modern art in all its various forms.

This is our version of the famous Jasper Johns painting of the American Flag.  Another terrific job guys!

Today is our final day for Modern Week and we wrap up our “Masterpiece”.  Can’t wait to show it to you.

And don’t forget, if you have a young artist, ages 7-12, there are a few spaces left in Art Camp Week 4 (Aug. 8- 12) and Week 5 (Aug. 22-26).  Email me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com to sign them up.

Art Camp continues.  This week our focus is on Modern Art.  First we produced a color wheel to learn more about color mixing.

 

Then we applied what we had learned about color to painting  Rothko-like modern paintings. 

The young artists did a great job producing these wonderful colors using only blue, yellow, red and white on their palettes.  Don’t you think?

Art Campers Complete “Masterpiece”!

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

The Art Campers completed their “Masterpiece” painting yesterday.  The emphasis for this week of camp is impressionism so of course, we painted a Monet. 

They chose the Japanese Bridge over the Lily Pond as their subject.

And look at what a super job they did!!!

 

 

 

 

But art is exhausting.  After taking two camp days to complete the large 16″x20″ painting they were pooped.  At break time  yesterday, they all took their snacks and went out into the lobby and laid down on the floor to eat their snacks.  Pooped out!!!

Art Camp Begins

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , , on June 28, 2011| Leave a Comment »

We had a great first day of Art Camp yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.  I have six students (one is camera-shy) and they all produced great art.

We started with the basic color wheel, mixing colors, learning about primary and complementary colors.  They picked that up really fast!

 Then they painted their first piece of art.   It’s a beautiful mountain scene.  Everyone of them did a fabulous job!  No kiddie art for these guys…they are making real grown-up art!  I love it!!!
