WHO'S IN YOUR CORNER?

CORNER OF THE ROOM DRAWING

BEGINNING 2-D ART

graphite on paper

It's always so much fun to see the liberties the kids take when they draw the corner of my room.

Their only requirement is to draw the corner foundation correctly,

but then they can get as crazy creative as they want.

The technique we use is called "Sighting",

and it's basically perspective but taught a bit differently.

For more on it see Dr. Betty Edwards book

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.

I'm starting with an incredibly talented young woman,

junior Malaya Sithichoi.

She has impressed me so very much this year with her work ethic, 

positive attitude and as you can see her gift of drawing.

Just wish this was a bit darker so you could enjoy it even more. 

Next we have another amazing talent,

junior Ayesha Durrani.

She picked a very difficult corner to deal with but pulled it off beautifully

and with great skill and playfulness. 

In this next sensitive & lovely piece

 junior Eileen Lee has actually drawn the watercolor images on the wall,

so well in fact,

 that I recognize the art pieces.

And then I adore the sweet butterflies she has added that are flitting about the room.

Next we have junior Jazz Lo,

another skilled young artist with great potential,

who has turned my walls into an aquarium.

Delightful!

And we end with sophomore Matthew Flores whose skills have grown by leaps and bounds this year.

He is one of the most hardworking young men in the class

and comes in often to spend extra time on his pieces.

I'm thrilled to say that all these young ones will be back next year for another art class with me.

I'm so excited to be working with them again 

and have my fingers crossed that my class will fit into their schedules.
