Spring has sprung at YEStudio.... Finally!!

Spring session is now in full swing and the YES-Kids are already into their second project of the session. These pictures are of the first project, the Pastel Resist Landscapes. Students were allowed to use their artistic license to make the landscape of their choice. We are very happy with the various results! Enjoy these pictures and remember, all the rest are/will be available on the website: www.yestudio.org. Let us know what you think. You can join this blog as a 'follower' and leave comments if you wish. We have quite a few new students for this session and they are promising to be very good artists! Welcome new YES-Kids!

Anna's Pastel Resist...Good job, Anna!

Emma's Pastel Resist. Very nice work, Emma!

Very good landscape, Isabella!

Katie's Pastel work. Nice perspective, Katie!

Lily's water scene in Pastel Resist. Very good, Lily!

Vanessa did a colorful playground. Good work, Vanessa!

Pastel resist is done using glue to outline the drawing, then using pastels to place the colors into the scene. This lesson taught about perspective in background, middle-ground and foreground. Analogous colors and complimentary colors were also explained.

Next on the schedule is a gorgeous parrot done in Watercolor Pencils. They are having a lot of fun with this one! Please check back often to see the results!

Plan to be present at the 3rd Annual Fine Arts Blount Kite Festival on April 10, from 10 am, to 4:30 pm. Bring your lawn chairs and spend the day enjoying the sun and fun. Register to design and/or fly your own special kite. Open to all ages. Kite designing, kite flying, food, music, games and competitions will be happening all day. This is a very special family event! You won't want to miss it.
See you there!  ;-)
