Does Miss Leigh want you to draw it small or big???

"I decided if I could paint that flower, in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty" Georgia O'Keeffe

My art students KNOW that small drawing just wont work in our class. In fact O'Keeffe was critiqued by an instructor once and swore that she would never draw small again!

"Fill the page"

"Lets try that again"

"Don't worry about it just draw what you see"

We recently studied Georgia O'Keffee and learned what an incredible and full and creative life she led. I have for years found her inspiring - A favorite image of mine is Okeeffe on a camel in Morocco at the age of 87. Who wants to meet me in Morocco to celebrate my 87th birthday??

We applied what we learned from O'Keeffe by getting up close and personal with various blooms. Students were asked to "GET BIG". They loved the lesson and especially loved taking the flowers home with them!!

Presenting Picasso

During April, Studio 110 students were introduced to Pablo Picasso.

Here were our favorite fun facts about the Spanish artist:

1. Picasso’s full name has 23 words:Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso.

2. Picasso’s first word – Pencil

3. He completed his first painting at age 9

4. Picasso was a bad student - He did not like to be told what to do – spent a lot of time in “time out”

5. Recognized as the world's most prolific painter by the Guinness Book of World Records: during a career that lasted 78 years he produced an estimated 13,500 paintings or designs, 100,000 prints or engravings, 34,000 book illustrations and 300 sculptures or ceramics, making a total of 147,800 works of art.

During the April's lessons we worked on portrait techniques, creating mood through color, and learning the principles of cubism. Students loved learning about Picasso's Blue and Rose period because everyone can relate to being happy and sad.
