May 22, 2010 _ Last Day of Spring 2010 ... Sat Morning Art workshops

It was a blast!

Thanks for all your hard work ...

From the class work to your homework!

Congrats to all who made it to our last class! Certificate & a treat

for all who came

and homemade gold-medals to our

"Artist Homework Winners"!

These students were there for the 6 Saturday mornings and did every homework assigned with enthusiastic effort!

• We had fun! Our last class, we did thumbprint people of a "concert". The ink stayed on our thumbs. It looked a bit Avatar-ish = ) We had an audience and on stage a drummer & guitar player.
• Memories of this session's art lessons ... Cartoon faces, self-portrait homework, internet sites- homework drawing, Shapes to Forms-Bubbles and Jellyfish, different media-Wild Flowers, an Insect Adventure, research and discussions on Pop Art/ Wayne Thiebaud, still life studies of fruit then toys (using values), and then our thumbprint concert! and more...
• Thank you for letting me hang-on to some of your artwork for the Bi-annual Fall "City Hall Exhibit" competition in October 2010! Please know, the artwork will be exhibiting in City Hall for 2 1/2 months.

• There be a pick-up day for the 2010 Spring City Hall Exhibit artwork on Sat., July 24, 2010... Please pick-up! These artworks are Great memories of their childhood! (These artworks do not come back with frame/hang wire or matting.)
• One parent wanted to purchase the frame that the artwork (from the City Hall Exhibit) is in ... if you want that opportunity also, please let me know. I think the frame is around $30 for the 11x 14", with matting another $10 and the hanging wire $4-5 ... yeah, the exhibit was a bit of money ($45 x 12-14 artworks). But so worth the students' confidence!

2010 Summer Art Session starts July 17.

Only 4 weeks... until Aug. 7

I look forward to our 2010 summer session! Fantasy Art !!
