Art Camp Begins

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , , on June 28, 2011| Leave a Comment »

We had a great first day of Art Camp yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.  I have six students (one is camera-shy) and they all produced great art.

We started with the basic color wheel, mixing colors, learning about primary and complementary colors.  They picked that up really fast!

 Then they painted their first piece of art.   It’s a beautiful mountain scene.  Everyone of them did a fabulous job!  No kiddie art for these guys…they are making real grown-up art!  I love it!!!

Young Artist Honored

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , , , on June 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

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.)
