Well, plans seem to change all the time. We were going to have an art reception for our students this summer, but had to cancel. So… although it’s not the same as being in person, here is our online “art reception”. I hope you enjoy viewing our students’ art! They worked so hard, and we couldn’t be prouder!
(Unfortunately, we didn’t get pictures of all of our students’ work. So, if you don’t see your piece on here, just know that we wanted to include it, but couldn’t. You could always send us a pic of your completed piece… :) We actually would love it if you did!)
Here are some of our beginning drawing students’ pieces!
Natalie did awesome with the texture of this wolf’s fur! She is only 9.
This hummingbird with all it’s detail was done by one of our adult students.
Zoey, age 11, chose to draw her family pet.
Cezar started in our Experiencing Art classes, so after a few years of that, we let him move up to the Beginning Drawing class a little early. Not bad for an 8 year-old!
Tabitha, age 12, was definitely going for something more dramatic with this one.
Colin, age 11, decided on a cute puppy in a rainboot.
This 9 year-old did a great job!
Lila, age 9, was another student who chose to draw her own dog. This piece took second place in the Air Force Art Contest.
This 9-year-old thoroughly enjoyed drawing the bird, but realized that the flowers had more petals than she originally thought. This piece won first place at the A.V. Fair.
We don’t normally let 8 year-olds in this class, but his older siblings were signed up, so we made an exception. He did great!
This pup was done by a talented 12-year-old.
(Apparently, dogs are a favorite subject in this class.)
Here’s some of the artwork from our other classes. We have watercolor, pen and ink, graphite portrait, and colored pencil represented in these pieces.
Ariana’s first watercolor at age 15.
Colin, age 13, chose quite the challenge when he decided to do a white duck in pen and ink.
Lila, age 10, succeeded in getting the vibrant colors of this butterfly.
Susanna, age 17, loved painting the old wood in this watercolor. This piece won first place and Committee Choice at the A.V. Fair.
This graphite portrait was done by one of our 13-year-old students.
Lila, age 11, used lines, stipple (dots), and crosshatch on this pen and ink flower.
Noelle, age 11, did this butterfly in colored pencil.
Chloe, age 14, used lines and stipple, along with sponging and brushing to get the look she was wanting with this pen and ink.
Colin, age 13, didn’t realize how challenging this colorful snake would be when he first chose it. Check out that eye though!
Colin, age 12, did this graphite portrait.
Unfortunately, we only have a photo of this one through glass… Some of the detail gets lost in this photo, but you can still see that Ariana, age 14 did a great job with this colored pencil!
This pen and ink by one of our 12-year-old students used lots of stipple and crosshatch. This piece won first place at the A.V. Fair.
Reece, age 15, chose to challenge himself with this colored pencil drawing. So much blue!
This cute little guy was drawn by Susanna in graphite.
This 12-year-old did a great job with her first watercolor. This piece took third place at the A.V. Fair.
Joanna, age 14, used lines, brushing, sponging, and lots of stipple with this pen and ink.
These adorable bunnies were done by one of our 9-year-old students with colored pencil. This piece won first place at the A.V. Fair.
Susanna, age 17, had so much detail in this pen and ink piece. This piece took second place in the Congressional Art Contest, and second at the A.V. Fair.
And just for fun, here are a few of our pieces!
