I spent some time yesterday evening working on ideas for the kids to paint at Art Camp this summer. Check out info here for this summer’s schedule and photos from last summer.

The three Matisse’s you see here are my copies of three of his paintings that we did in art camp or art classes last year. I love Matisse so I am sure we will do others.

We had a great opening reception for the art campers yesterday afternoon at the Community Center. Many of the students were there and lots of art admirers to encourage their work.

It was good to see the students showing off their work to their family and friends.

And I especially loved that Jackson Pond has four generations of his family there to help him celebrate his art!

Good job everyone. The Art Campers Art Display will be at the Community Center until the first week in November. Please stop by and see their wonderful art for yourself!

Final Day of Art Camp

Posted in Art Class, tagged abstract art, acrylic, Art Camp, Art Class, art lessons, daily painter, Virginia Artist 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 – Matisse

Posted in Art Camp, Art Class, tagged Abstract, acrylic, Art Camp, art lessons, daily painter, Virginia Artist on August 26, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Over the ages it has been a common practice for artists to copy famous painters work in order to learn technique, style, and color mixing. Degas, Monet, Renoir, and many of the famous names you will recognize applied and received copiers permission to copy paintings in the Louvre.

Following in their footsteps, our Art Campers are learning about a variety of artists this week by copying famous paintings. They completed their Matisse painting. They turned out great.

Today we will finish up art camp by finishing our Picassos and our Van Goghs! Good job everyone.

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!

The final week of Art Camp for the summer began yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

We started by painting the color wheel and learning about color mixing. Then the young artists went on to learn about Monet and we painted this lovely version of Monet’s poppy field using just the three basic colors – red, yellow, and blue, plus white.

Can you believe they did this with just those colors? Great job guys!
