Sarah paints the Georgia O'Keefe Poppies

Sarah has been working hard on the Georgia O'Keefe Poppies.  She began by applying lots of red and orange shades of paint.  Today she worked more on getting just the right tints and shades to match the original painting.  She has been amazed at how many different shades and tints of orange and red there are in these flowers!  

Explosion of Color

Painting has begun. Color has finally hit all sides of the Vettetastic corvette and stand. Monet's Water Lily's are turning out nicely. Megan and Jessica have been working on the Monet side since yesterday, accomplishing a lot in these two days. It is very important when doing art to take a break step back look at what you are doing and look at the artist's work. This way you have a chance to see how the artwork is turning out and what areas are working from the ones that might not be. Looking at the artist's work allows you to see all the colors they use and how they are incorporated into the picture. Jorge asked more questions about Monet so we showed him a book with pictures of his work allowing him to get a better visual understanding of the work being done on the Vettetastic corvette.

Megan takes over the Monet side!

Megan loves to paint!  I have been her art teacher for a long time (I taught her when I was the art teacher at Natcher elementary).  She has always loved art.  Today was a really good day for her.  She worked on the Monet side of the corvette during class and I could just tell she was enjoying it so much.  She told me that she would see me in the morning first thing (7:00) to paint some more.
