Klimt

Mother and Child, or The Three Ages of Woman was painted by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt.  It's in Rome, but I would love to see it some day.  My little Wednesday evening artist was inspired by all the colors and repeated shapes Klimt used.

Senior Love

Memory care art with Seniors, creating valentines canvases with tape masks.  They really enjoyed removing the tape after painting the canvas.  It's the little things that bring love and joy.

Starry Night

We learned about Starry Night today and used oil pastels on a wash.  Next we collages on the middle ground of the little town and then the cypress tree with pastel details.

Paul Cezanne

Working on still lifes with my younger elementary class.  We practiced setting up a still life and drawing it, then studied Paul Cezanne and his portraits, landscapes and still lifes, then created a plate of apples with acrylic, water colors and crayons.

Claude Monet

I love teaching about the artist and the little quirky things that they do.  Claude Monet took his paints, paintbrushes, pallets and canvases onto his little boat and had a floating art studio in the middle of the water he could pull up to any water scene and be right there and paint a picture of it in his boat. Sometimes the water with splash up onto his canvases.
