Most Recent Lessons:
11. Purples & Patches – Foundations B+
NOV 3 – 7 • Students begin with a quick warmup sketch of some fall gourds. Then we have our first Color Journal of the year, with purples. This will leave some time at the end to begin planning our next project, Little Patches Watercolors. Students choose a grid pattern and start thinking of ideas for what to draw and paint in each small box of the grid. We’ll paint these over the next two weeks.
10. Birdhouse Drawings – Foundations B +
OCT 27 – 31 • Students will create a detailed drawing of an old weathered birdhouse. If possible, the birdhouses used should be real-life objects, but photos are provided. Steps for preparing, using the 3 steps to accuracy, making guide-lines, and pencil techniques are all practiced to create a finished work. A few fun short projects for early finishers are also included.
9. Shading and Blockiness – Foundations B+
Oct 20 – 24 • Students learn or review the basic techniques involved in pencil shading using various textures and movement. Blocks and cubes are looked at, as an introduction to artist’s perspective and understanding of one of the 3 basic geometric forms.
