Lesson 8

We did Chrysanthemum on Friday. Building on daisy and added outline as visual guide.  We also started stroke leaves with outline visual guide.  On lesson 9 we will stroke the flowers and leaves without the outline guide.  

We won't have class this Friday 10/28 due to Conference week.  There are 2 more classes on Nov. 6th and Nov. 11th.  Nov. 18th is a make up class.  If you have missed one or more classes, you may come on the 18th.  I will do a make up class with you.

Those of you wanted to frame your children's painting, please bring the paintings in with post it notes or paper clips on the paintings as clear indicator on Nov 6th.  You may include the check for the frame as well.  $19.99/frame.   I will mount them, frame them and bring them back on Nov. 11th.  If your child's painting is torn, mounting will fix it.  

I have attached class demonstration for your reference.  Be thinking about next year.  We will go on with more flowers and may be some animals.  

Have a blessed day.

lesson 7 pumpkins

We did pumpkins on Friday.  I wanted the students to see volume and how to use brush strokes to show volume. I also introduced them the basic strokes in painting a tree, corn stalk, hey stack and tree trunk for added interest.  This coming Friday we will paint chrysanthemum. 

I have attached the class demo for your reference.    I will be putting out proposals for Spring Semester in the next week or 2.  

lesson 6 cherry blossom and cherries

We did cherry blossom in Joyousbrush Club today.  Some students are so excited about painting with loaded brush strokes, it is easy to be carried away.  But the joy of painting and the delight in creativity is clearly demonstrated in their works, which are displayed on the Hall in school.  You can almost see the personality from their paintings.  

I did a promotional video with Young Audience in Woodruff Art Center.  You may view the clips from the link below.
