Art Creatures Angelina's Art Studio

The 6th week of our Art Creatures art classes was a very busy and vibrant time. The students continued to gain confidence being encouraged to make their own aesthetic decisions regarding artwork. They also continued to learn that delayed gratification through refining artwork overtime is way more rewarding than rushing through the creative process. Studies show that children who know the value of delayed gratification are much happier people as adults.

Some more darling pieces from this week

During the 5th week of Art creatures Art Lessons I was reminded how unique and special each artist is, and how the artist is always more important than the artwork Some of you are using your new art skills to code and create your own video games, while others create unique gifts for friends/family making animal and baby portraits. Some are simply enjoying the beauty of the creative process and make art for art’s sake. Here are are some finished pieces from this week.

More seascapes in soft pastel and oil paints from photo references

During the 4th week of Art Creatures Art classes this school year, our artists explored how to turn boring photos into vivid, colorful landscapes and how to make cute cartoony creatures out of animal photograph references

More lovely artwork from week 3

Holly brought a photo of her favorite pet goat Lil and created her portrait in soft pastel . I can’t get over Holly’s enthusiasm for this project

So excited for Judy who did such a fabulous job studying this dancer’s pose. The image is all her own, and so is the outfit. It takes a while to figure out how to build a human correctly from head to toes. I love the ease communicated in Judy’s drawing and the lightness of the ballerina about to turn

Caroline explored textures with soft pastels while she worked on this adorable fluffy panda
