Hi and Happy Fall! We are so glad to have a reprieve from the heat of Summer!
The blog has been down for a while. Sorry about that...
So, this will be one posting; featuring several projects.
Grid Drawing.
It is drawn, then finished in Colored Pencil. Each student chose from many ideas to use for their grid drawings.Grid drawings are a great way to 'get' the size and proportions of objects.
A grid form was drawn onto their paper using 'math' (gulp) to fill their pages to capacity. They drew their designs in a 'square by square' method. The results are phenomenal.
Here are some of their renderings. We were very pleased and the YES-Kids had so much fun!
THE SCREAM!!
This next project uses Pastels and a little dramatic acting. Yes-Kids were asked to think of something that really scares them and fake a scream that depicted Edvard Munch's 'The Scream'. They used pastels to make the background with the bridge, railing, field, water and scary 'thing' that was approaching from the back. Eeek!
Their own photo was then placed onto the background, and they became 'The Screamer'. Such a lot of fun! You can see all the YES-Kids' pictures with their works at our website. www.yestudio.org. Their works are also avcailable at www.artsonia.com You can even purchase something featuring their work of your choice. Meanwhile, here are a few of the results! ;-)
Autumn Acrylics on Canvas
The YES-Kids are now working on two projects. They are going from one to the other, allowing for drying time. Their acrylic project features paintings that depict the Fall/Halloween season. They were asked to choose a drawing and then to sketch the contours on newsprint. They went to the canvas boards and lightly sketched their design again, then began to paint with acrylics. This project will be finished soon and pictures will be up on this blog, our website and Artsonia. Here are some 'in progress' shots:
Sculptured Architectural Letters.
The YES-Kids are working on the final project of this session. It's the sculpture/3D project. Architectural Letters! They are very large and wonderful! It will be a challenge to 'show' them. ;-)
