Trees of Life and Some Awesome Stocking Sculptures!

Our YES-Kids have been turning out some remarkable pieces of art. They finished up the Winter Session, 2010-11, in great style.
The Trees of Life, on canvas board using acrylic paint, gave them the opportunity to use their artistic license and imaginations. The original Tree of Life painting, by Gustav Klimt, was their inspiration and it's amazing what they produced! You can see the rest of them at www.yestudio.org.

Butterflies on the Tree of Life. Nice, Kassidi!

Konner's Tree of Life is his video game tree!

Kevin appreciates chocolate in his life!

A shoe tree! Very good idea Courtney!

Lovely expression of decor, Kelsey!

Shaelyn's polka dots in the tree of life.

This final sculpture project for the Winter Session... is one of my favorite to date. The YES-Kids did sculptures from a block of wood, a knee-high hose, and a hanger. They used glue to make it a pallet and acrylic paints to design the shape they fashioned from the wire and hose. Amazing and wonderful!

Beautiful abstract sculpture, Bella!

Very 'heart'felt, Taylor! Love it!

Very imaginative and colorful, Nicole!

Very well done, Kayla. Love the duck!

Wicked 'Tornado Ted', Jonathan!

Jenna preferred the 'splatter' method. Nice!

It's a tropical bird! Wonderful, Brana! 

Jack Brovo rendition by Garrett. Good work!

All the YES-Kids did excellent work on these projects. All their work can be seen on www.yestudio.org. I am still taking pictures of some of the sculptures. Be sure to check back for the results!

We are into the 2011 Spring Session and the YES-Kids are doing Pastel Resist Landscapes in their own designs. Should be fun! They love working with glue. We have a lot of new YES-Kids for this session. And many of our regulars are back as well. Some of them are playing sports this Spring and hopefully, will be back in the Fall.
