ARTitude Painting Workshop Examples
Here are the types of examples a student might accomplish in a three hour
painting workshop! They are all acrylic. The method is teaching the students to
work their painting in layers, and not looking at a painting as though it is a
flat paint by numbers project.
I create a new painting for each workshop, mostly because it is fun for
me to create the example:) But I also create the example so that I know how to
teach it. I love how giving students some boundaries help students stay focused
so that they can explore their own unique take on a subject matter. It can be
overwhelming for young minds to sit down and have to start something from
scratch.
The students mix their own paints and draw their own piece, but are
following an example, so every single painting is really an individual
masterpiece.
During the painting process we discuss composition, variation, rhythm, balance
and technique.
