Young Artist Honored

The young artists, 4th graders, from all five elementary schools who participated in the 175th Anniversary Art project were honored last night at an Opening Reception of their work at the Community Center. Their art will hang there until the end of July when it will return their schools as a permanent display.

Many students and parents turned out to see the five collages. And so did the TV station. Three of the students were interviewed for a story that ran last night on TV-3.

Good job girls! (See there video here.)

Make time to stop by and see the beautiful art that these children created to honor the 175th Anniversary of Warren County!

(You can read more about the project on past posts in March and April of this blog and by starting here.)

Tiger Cubs Painting Class

Posted in Art Class, tagged acrylic, Art Class, art lessons, daily painting, impressionism, oil painting, River, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, Virginia Artist on April 18, 2011| Leave a Comment »

A few weeks ago one of the moms of one of my Thursday Young Artists asked if I might teach her Tiger Cub scouts a lesson in color mixing and painting.

Last Wednesday, we held that class. Here they are working on their painting. That’s my friend Shelly helping me with the large group.

They were very enthusiastic and seemed to really enjoy painting. The only mishap was when I accidentally dropped a paint brush on one boys head when I was trying to help him. No permanent damage, just a little green paint in his hair. Oops!

They did a terrific job…eight beautiful paintings of the mountain and river!
