Shea Studio Classes weeks 4 and 5

For week 4 the younger kids followed Van Gogh's Starry Night Theme.  K-3 used soft pastels and Construction paper for a Night time City scape reflecting in the water.  4-6 used acrylics and Tempera paints to recreate Van Gogh's Cypress tree and village nestled in the mountains.

Teens started their animal drawings using a grid method to enlarge the photos.

Week 5 - K-3 started their Peacock collages! stayed tuned next week for finished pictures!!

Grades 4-6 worked on Optical Illusions...

Teens used Watercolor and Acrylic to finish up their animals...

Lynn Ferris Class - week 4 - backlighting animals

This was a fun class.  We needed to make a scene with abstract animals..since they were being seen from a distance and they were "back lighted" we could play with colors and fill the painting with darks playing against lights.  I will def try thy is again sometime...

Todays Lynn Ferris Class...Ocean Waves..

Hmm...when My teacher told me to sit on my hands and stop messing with this today, I should have listened to her! It was done...now its over - done...almost looks like a toxic waste spill...radioactive I think...

 and here is Gabby's...I think she may have "got" what the teacher was trying to show us!

oh well..This was fun and I want to try it again!

Classes week 3

Both younger groups used Pointillism to make fishes with Tempra paint and then tissue paper glued on for Seaweed.  This was alot of fun!

Teens finished up their Trilogy of landscapes with Paintings in Cubism using colored pencils.  We tried to keep them monochrome :)

Roosters... abstract pastel

Finished my roosters.  These were a couple roosters I saw at the Zoo in Cumberland.  I couldn't get the actual green on the Left Rooster but its close enough that I am happy with it :)
