Renoir's Blue Cup

Renoir’s Blue Cup

The 3rd session of Art Camp begins today with young artists, ages 8-13, as we study the Impressionists.  We will paint like Monet, Degas and Renoir!  Doesn’t that sound like fun?  Well, it will be.

Today we will discuss Pierre-Auguste Renoir who was a leader in the development of the Impressionists style.  He is best known for his use of light and saturated color and his feminine subject matter.  You can read more about Renoir here.   The young artists will be painting Renoir’s Blue Cup today.  Check in tomorrow to see how their painting turns out.

Art Camp Session 2 Day 2 - 1Yesterday the young painters at Art Camp did this fabulous Vincent Van Gogh painting.  We discussed Van Gogh and his interesting history and family.  And didn’t these girls do a stunning job recreating Van Gogh’s chair!?!  I really enjoyed this session of camp with these girls.  They are all very good painters and interested in art and the process.  Great work!

Next week Art Camp continues with young artists age 8-13 studying Impressionism and painters like Monet, Degas and Renoir.  This particular week is full but there are others available if you have young painters interested in having fun with art this summer.  See the schedule here.

Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves, is the 13th field in the series of Major League Baseball parks that I have painted for the Kickstarter project.  The Braves are my team.  I grew up in Georgia and we were Braves fans.  We went to Florida for Spring Training to watch them each year.  We suffered when they had bad seasons and celebrated those good years.  And while I went to more games at Fulton County stadium than I have at the newer Turner Field I look forward to seeing more here.  It’s one of those really large stadiums that has the feel of a small baseball field.

Art Camp, Ages 5-7 with Monet's Poppies

Art Camp, Ages 5-7 with Monet’s Poppies

We had a great day of Art Camp with the young artists painting Monet’s Poppy Field.  We talked about Monet (that they like to call Money) and impressionism and they painted these fabulous paintings.  Great job!

This was the first time we have offered camp for this young age group and they were great.  How can you resist their happy faces when they show off their art.

Ethan and Lincoln

Ethan and Lincoln

Because of the really stormy weather we had yesterday I only had one young artist come to class yesterday.  When this happens I let them choose what they want to paint from the paintings they may have  missed in previous classes.  Ethan chose to paint Lincoln.  And what a great job you did Ethan!  Wonderful.  You can see what the other artists did with this painting last year by clicking here.

I am always so proud of my art students and love sharing their work with you.  I often post photos of the kids paintings and forget to take photos of the adults as they finish their paintings.  But yesterday it seems that everyone was finishing paintings at the same time so I got some great shots.  These are all Wednesday morning or evening students.  Keep it up girls.  Great job by all!!!
