Famous Painters Art Week

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , on August 9, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I have been so impressed with the young artists I have met this summer during the weeks of Art Camp that we have been having at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.  We have been having loads of fun painting wonderful art.

Today another camp started – Famous Painters week.  We started as always with the color wheel and making all these colors just using yellow, red and blue.

Then we painted like the first famous artist we are studying this week, Monet.  And we only used those three colors -yellow, blue and red, plus white to create this entire painting.

What do you think?  Didn’t they do a fantastic job!!!???
