High School Atelier in its third year!

The high school atelier is in its third year!

The atelier class is held all year long during regular school hours, as a class in Bradford Christian Academy,(http://bradfordchristianacademy.org/). This is an amazing school, check them out. I am so pleased to be able to teach this subject. The results are awesome!
Check out https://www.facebook.com/SandraGaldaArt/ to see what we are up to!

We began the year again with some Bargue work.

We are just finishing some value studies, one above. In our next projects we will be leaving sight size and working more relationally, using comparative strategies.

More later!

I have always loved and been busy making art.

Hi everyone! Here is some of what I have been up to this year.

High School Art classes at our local Christian Academy:

The students in my Atelier Techniques Class:

They worked some drawings....

They drew with charcoal....

They set up still-lifes and painted starts and worked a finished oil painting.....

They entered a local gallery's high school art show and 2 of the four won awards.....

The kids in the Basic Art and Design Class:

We did group effort large abstracts after Franz Kline...and individual versions too...

The students crated 3D wire sculptures.....

They worked on exercises in values.....

They worked many exercises in one, two and Three point perspective.....

They were taught to use enlargement techniques to create great images, by hand ...

They worked several various contour line exercises, studying line ....

They painted canvases after the style of Helen Frankenthaler, thus studying color theory....
