Fall Semester 2011

I can't believe coworkers and I wrapped up the Fall semester at the Worcester Art Museum last week. Time unbelievably flies when you're having fun! I decided to post some images of in process work and completed pieces. The feedback from students and parents on my Drawing and Painting classes this term were terrific and I'm glad kids not only had fun, but learned a thing or two. Happy holidays, everyone!

Lifesize andriods designed to save planet Earth!

A paint bug: lesson with sponge painting and light, middle, & dark tones.

INFESTATION!

No, I'm not dressed as the pope. It's the beginning of an alien disguise that will combine organic & geometric shapes.

A group of very serious artists with their final pieces that incorporated both drawing and painting.

New classes!

I can't believe it's already October! I've been so busy with the beginning of new semester of public school (I'll blog about that later), that I hadn't realized my Saturday classes at the Worcester Art Museum begin next week! I still have openings in both, so please spread the word!

Beginning October 8th,

Drawing 8-10 years old - Really get an understanding of the basics of drawing and begin building on that for more indepth drawing techniques. A great way to start before taking a Painting class!

Drawing and Painting from Life 11-13 years old - Working from still lifes and models (some of whom willl be special guests) the corrolation of drawing and painting will be fully explored while students and I sketch, draw, and paint with a final piece to be presented at the end of the eight week term.

Upcoming classes

Here are two classes I'll be teaching for the first half of Session 2 in August at the Worcester Art Museum!

August 8-12

Drawing Your World (8-10 years old)
Explore landscape, cityscape and dreamscape in the galleries. Then draw your own beautiful world using inks, watercolors, oil pastels and other drawing materials.

Express Yourself! (8-10 years old)
Get inspired in the Museum and let loose your creativity. Experiment in sculpture, printmaking, paint and other materials to develop fun, colorful and experimental projects.
