We started our Post-Impressionism Art Camp yesterday as our 9 young painters recreated a Mary Cassatt painting of the “Woman Standing, Holding a Fan” from 1878-79. These girls did a wonderful job on this piece. We also created a Color Wheel and talked about the importance of color mixing before we began painting our masterpiece. Next up….Gauguin!

We had such a great time painting as a team yesterday at The Studio. Parents (and in one case an aunt-my good friend Jennifer with her nieces Sara and Sidney) and kids painted these lovely Mountain Flower landscapes. The had to work together to make the two (or three) canvases match so they could hang them as one painting once they were completed. Didn’t the do GREAT?! Another group will be painting them today.

Yesterday at Art Camp we talked about Mark Rothko and created a Color Block painting. This session of camp is Modern Art Camp so we will be looking at several different styles of modern painting. These young artists did a great job.

I spent some time playing with a new paper painting last week in between art camp and regular classes. It’s a good start. I hope to be able to do a little more this week. We may even have time to do something similar during art camp. It’s Modern Art week and sometimes we have time to do an extra painting when we finish our spatter and color block art. :-)

All I can really say is WOW! Logan, who you’ve seen me blog about many times over the years as she has been painting with me since she was very young, has just completed this amazing painting from a photo from Chinatown. She did an excellent job! She is fearless and will try just about anything. Great work Logan. So proud of what a great painter and friend you have become!!!
