Student Spotlight on Art


This talented first grader is taking private
art lessons from me ~ and I just had to show
off
the first painting he created...



Painting the first layer of landscape color
with a
"dot-style" paint stroke.


Layering more shades of green to
create depth in the
background.


After breaking down his portrait into shapes,
he drew and
painted it onto the canvas.
(Notice the U.Va. color scheme)



Painting the finishing touches and
cleaning up the landscape.




And...the happy artist with his
finished
Impressionistic Portrait.
An Award winning Painting!
