Acrylic painting from teen class

This is one of the paintings from the teen class this past spring. The project was about choosing a theme and then use layers to convey the feeling of the theme. An abstract concept and done with nice technique.

Watercolor and ink birds, ages 10 - teens

This is a great project to let the students get a feel for wet on wet watercolor technique. They also got to  use patterns/zentangles to add another layer of interest. Great job!
