Today we celebrate the birth of Paul Cézanne (1839–1906). He was a Post-Impressionist French painter who helped bridge the 19th Century Impressionistic period to the 20th Century. He explored Cubism and a new line of artistic style that included exploring color options. He laid a foundation for artists like Matisse and Picasso.

He used repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes that makes his style easily recognizable.

Day 3 of Post-Impressionism Art Camp had us painting a copy of one of Cezanne’s Still Life with Apples. The young artists did a fabulous job with color mixing.

Then we did a quick miniature painting of a barn and even framed it.

Day 4 we spent almost the entire morning working on a copy of Matisse’s Red Fish. I love Matisse and while it was the hardest painting we have done in camp so far, the young artists did GREAT! For the final day of camp we are doing our “masterpiece”, an extra-large painting of Van Gogh’s Starry Night. I’ll share it with you in the next post. Stay tuned!

This energetic group of young artists are doing splendid work!

Visiting the National Gallery of Art

Yesterday I enjoyed a wonderful visit to the National Gallery of Art with some of my students from the Southerlands. There was 13 of us that made the trip to see the Picasso Drawings.

No photography was allowed in that exhibit but this was the entrance poster so at least you can see what it was like. The interesting thing was that there were probably about 50 pieces in the exhibit and probably half or more belonged to private collectors. Really interesting.
