This course will explore a variety of painting media, including Watercolor, Tempera, Gauche, Mixed Media, Acrylic, and Oil. Students will examine several different styles and techniques and learn about a sampling of the most famous painters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Students may choose to purchase materials in additional to those provided by the school.

Van Gogh's Starry Night... in CRAYON!

Students examine values and analyze facets in these still lives

Students explore abstract expressionism and artists like Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollack.

Like VanGogh, these oil pastels, use only complimentary colors.

A challenging assignment is a Georgia O'Keefe style flower.
