Back in the swing of things with art classes!

So my art classes started up again last week, but I've only just loaded the pictures to share....
We started with a little color theory playing with warm and cool colors and began with choosing three squares to create any design they wanted using warm colors......

 

And then they filled the remaining squares with cool colors, again playing with design and patterns.

For the second half of class, they traced 5 templates of hot air balloons in varying sizes and painted them with any colors/patterns of their choice.  I got so busy, I forgot to take any pictures!

For our next class, we'll be painting a background with water color resist clouds, gluing in the balloons and talking about perspective- how things that are farther away appear to be smaller while things that are closer seem bigger.....  Also, they'll doing sun faces emphasizing eyes, nose & lips and finishing with "any-color-but-blue" backgrounds; a little project I like to call "What Color is the Sky in Your World"
It's so good to be teaching again, I've really missed it!
Cheers,
Stephanie
