YES-Kids Begin Fall Session with Op Art!

The first week of the 2010 Fall Session at YEStudio is behind us. The YES-Kids are well into their first project, which is Op Art. They used pencils to draw a checkerboard on the paper, made a round circle in the middle, and then drew arc'd lines inside the circle. Then they chose two complimentary colors each. Blue and orange, red and green, black and white or purple and yellow. Using the checkerboard method they did opposite colors in each square. Next week they will finish up using charcoal to shade parts of the piece. It will look as if the checks are moving when they are finished!

Our second Tuesday class (4:30) is now completely full. We do still have some spots open in the other classes. We will continue to take students until the middle of the session. We will prorate the costs accordingly.

I always take some 'in progress' pictures along the way. Here are a few. Enjoy! Be sure to check back here to the blog for finished pictures of the projects.
We are doing some very interesting and unusual projects this session. We'll have a very wide selection of art for our next show! It's going to be a great session. We invite you to become a follower here on the YEStudio In Action blog. Then you can comment on our work and support your favorite artist!
