Target’s Warren County Middle School Art Project

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged 175th Anniversary of Warren County VA, acrylic, Art Class, Art Residency, daily painter, impressionism, Landscape, Shenandoah Valley, Small Town Life, Virginia Artist, Warren County 175th Anniversary on October 24, 2011| Leave a Comment »

In September we received a grant from Target to teach an art residency at Warren County Middle School.

I spent the day with 13 wonderful young people who attacked the project with enthusiasm.

The project was part of the 175th Anniversary of Warren County project so we painted pieces that relate to our history both past and present.

Each student painted two 12″x12″ panels that related to government, education, tourism, transportation, or agriculture.

We put these together into four larger panels that will be unveiled this evening at WCMS at 6 pm. If you are downtown this evening and would like to see them in person stop by and help us celebrate these wonderful young artists and their accomplishment!

And many thanks to Target for sponsoring this project; to Linda Kusior and Shelly Brugal, two wonderful artists who assisted us with the class; and the Blue Ridge Arts Council for continuing to bring exciting art projects to young people in our community.

: Wednesday painters -Mara, Maggie & Judd

: Thursday Painters – Gabby, Dorothy, Kaylee, Mia, & Daniel

A few months ago Maggie brought in this cute little stuffed toy – a dachshund with a hot dog costume on. So we photographed it and finally got around to painting it in class. If you look closely at Maggie in the photo you can see the toy on her head! This was a great lesson for the painters in shading. They all did a great job!!!

Painting with Middle Schoolers

Posted in Art Class, tagged 175th Anniversary of Warren County VA, acrylic, Art Class, art lessons, daily painter, impressionism, Landscape, Virginia Artist, Warren County Middle School on September 20, 2011| 2 Comments »

For about 2 1/2 hours yesterday morning and again yesterday afternoon, we had the pleasure of working at the Blue Ridge Arts Council with 13 terrific young artists from Warren County Middle School.

It was a whirlwind of activity from the minute they arrived. They were given their canvas and started painting right away.

I am so grateful that Shelly, one of my adult painting students came to help.

And so did Linda. It would have been near impossible to get as much done as we did without Linda and Shelly working with us.

And a busy day it was. In the few hours that we had those 13 students produced 26 paintings.

Absolutely amazing!!!

Here are a few samples of the wonderful work they did. As soon as the pieces are put together I will be posting the finished works of all of these students. Many thanks again to Kym, Shelly and Linda!
