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...
