Now that students have learned the basics of mixing colors and creating value with intensity, we're moving on to learning how to apply paint to the canvas in varying methods. Colors don't need to be smoothly blended to make an interesting painting! This week, we learned how to use short, non-blended brush strokes to create colors, as well as how to use layers while painting.
Here's an update about what we did in class last week! I almost forgot to upload an update, so I just snapped a few pictures before I left school. I will take more pictures when these are done. Students are actually done or almost done with their color wheel, and will be starting a new project this week. You've all done fantastic! Keep up the great work!
Welcome to the new semester, the new year, and a whole new beginning painting class! I hope you will enjoy your time with me, and enjoy learning how to paint. Please keep an eye on this blog, as I will be uploading images of your work here. Then you can share it with your friends and family!
Don't forget, work that is high quality and sends a good message may be picked for display in our end of the year art show. So do your best work, because it may be featured! |
