Overview: Students will warm up with face sketches and create a flesh tone Color Journal of 25 colors (only 16 for younger grades). Then there is a slideshow about the different color areas of the face and some exercises to practice making flesh tones work together. Young grades have some fun with alien faces too.

It really helps students keep their paint organized if you divide the palette into 4 or 5 sections, especially with the young students. Since they mix into the same blob of paint for each row, writing “Row 1”, “Row 2”, etc. on the sections, prevents accidentally using the wrong paint or starting a new blob in the middle of a row.

It also helps to keep the mixes from spreading out into giant blobs that take up most of the palette.

If you’re new to ArtSquish…

Here’s our demo for how to use and create our special color journals. These are not just a series of formulas since that would quickly become the only colors a student would use. Instead, the journal is designed to mimic the way artists actually mix colors, changing the color several times with the addition of new pigments to take the color to a new direction. The resulting colors are all useful and show artists how other pigments AFFECT colors.

John Singer Sargent

Many people consider John Singer Sargent one of the greatest portraitists of all time. He not only had great skill with color, light, and painting techniques, he was a master at capturing the spirit and personality of the people he painted. All through his life, however, he had a love/hate relationship with portraiture, and eventually gave it up to pursue other techniques and subject matter. Over his lifetime, he had at least 7 major styles, but all of them were based on realism and impressionism. Late in life, when these went out of popularity, he was considered behind the times.

Portraits are very difficult to do, and to drive home that point, he once stated, “every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend”.

An American who lived most of his life in Europe, he was trained in Italy and France. When he showed an early portrait of his instructor at a Paris art show, it was considered by some to be better than his master’s work, and one critic said it was “uncanny” that he was at the beginning of his career yet had no more to learn!

He moved to London and made that his home for most of his life, though he travelled extensively, many times to the U.S. and other places for commissioned work. Sargent painted portraits of famous people most often, but sometimes would draw and paint the world around him. He was a profound watercolorist too. In his lifetime, he produced thousands of paintings and even more drawings. His work can be found in museums all over the world, but most of them are in America.

Color journals are easy to finish later. The purpose is mainly to practice mixing and to learn what pigments do to others when they’re mixed. Any amount of progress is great. Finishing up color journals is a great filler activity for students on other days.

Shadow colors should not have too much contrast for these cartoon faces. If you see someone putting really dark shadows down, encourage them to lighten it up just a bit with a touch of white and by adding more of the bright colors like orange.

Remind students that shadows are full of color. They are not gray or dull.
