Mixed Up Dr Seuss Animals, ages 7-11

We talked about taking parts of different animals to combine to make a new one. We also looked at Dr Seuss's Zoo story and laughed at the combinations we found.

Tree colors, ages 10-12

We have done this project in the past and I wanted to repeat with this new group of students. It is a great project to learn/practice subtle color mixing. I will post more as I get them.

Night Paintings, teen class

I wanted the students to have a look at light at night and see the colors, shadows, glow... They chose their own reference photos and painted in acrylic on stretched canvas.

Pointillism Hearts, ages 7-10

A quick little project to celebrate Valentines Day.  Pointillism using colors, moving dark to light on the hearts and just a fun pattern for the background. Acrylic on stretched canvas. The students also made giant cut paper valentines that I forgot to photograph. And they were nice too.

Penguin Stocking Caps, ages 7-10

We each filled in the penguin shape with the eyes, buttons... and designed a great pattern for the stocking cap. Acrylic on stretched canvas.

Cut Paper Places, Teen Class

The students picked a favorite place and used cut card stock to paint the image. It was nice to see them simplify the value shapes and then add detail. Great job!!!

Day, Night Lighthouses, ages 9-11

We did a poster sized tempera painting of a lighthouse with swatches of day and night colors. It was fun to think of how the colors change with the light.
