2nd Hour Painting

    First post of the new school year is here! Classes are broken down more specifically this year - much to my delight.

1st Hour Drawing
2nd Hour Painting
3rd Hour Prep
4th Hour Intro to Art
Afternoon - Elementary

    The pictures below are from the first week of my Painting class. Their first painting was our "starting point" as they painted a basic black and white still life. I wanted to use this as a reference point as we progress through the class. It will be interesting to look back at the end of the class and see how their skills have improved.

    After the still life, students learned about mixing paint. They are now experts on the difference between tint, tone, and shade. (Add white, gray, or black to paint to change its value) We will soon be starting their first big project - a Monochromatic Painting with a trendy twist. I am excited for the results. Until next time, thanks for reading!
