Final Day of Art Camp

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , , , , on August 27, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Our final painting for Art Camp was a version of Van Gogh’s Starry Night.  He did a couple of them…most people only recognize the one.

Here are the kids working on theirs.  We got so busy finalizing everything and framing their works for the week that I forgot to take a photo of the final painting.  Maybe when the show goes up at the Community Center featuring their works I can get one then.  😦   

All in all, we had a fabulous summer of painting and discovered the talent of many young painters in our community!

Art Camp – Day 3

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , on August 25, 2011| Leave a Comment »

 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.

Great job everyone.  Let’s keep up the good work!

Channeling Jackson Pollack

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

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:

Art Camp – Modern Week

Posted in Abstract, Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , on July 26, 2011| Leave a Comment »

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?

Show Comes Down

Posted in Abstract, daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , , , on June 14, 2010| Leave a Comment »

It’s always exciting when a show goes up but the coming down is kind of sad. 

This was my favorite piece in “Minds Wide Open” abstract show that just ended at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

Now to find a place for all these large paintings. 

Maybe some will go to Delilah’s….and some may go to other shops.

The gallery is so empty and sad.  Good thing that the Arts Council  member show goes up this week.  It’s a terrific show featuring new work by arts council members.  Don’t forget to stop in and see it.  The opening reception will be Thursday at 5:00….same night as the Art Walk downtown.  Plan to come down for a great evening of art!

And abstract doesn’t always mean non-representational.  As you can see here there is a representational element to abstract art as well.  Come on down and see more.
