I was able to make my art training class today! Today's project was a sculpture of sorts based on the works of Charles Arnoldi http://www.charlesarnoldistudio.com/index.html. I must admit that before today's class, I had no idea who he was or what type of work he did. And unfortunately, out of all his works, this is the stuff I am least interested in. But hey, it's for the kids, and I guess this is a project that can be suited for them. Of course, even as I type that I am already struggling with how to teach a few portions of the project to kindergartners. Anyway, a few of you expressed an interest in seeing some of the projects, so I snapped a picture of mine before they whisked it away to become "examples" for this kids. Then, I promptly broke my camera (is my art THAT bad?).
Like I said, not really my style, but perhaps I will GROW somehow. I did enjoy seeing some of Mr. Arnoldi's modern paintings. I could see an art quilt inspired by them....if I ever had time for that!
I also finally got my previous project back. It was called "Reflections in Nature", basically a landscape with a reflection aspect. Here are my two, and my daughter's paintings. She was in a dark mood evidently...
I don't think I'm very good with a brush, but hey, it was fun!
