Fine Arts Fund Weekend


Last week was pretty quiet here in the art room! We had snow piled up over the windows and classes canceled. We did manage to continue drypoint this week: several students printed their plates while others continued to etch and sketch (ha).

The preschool class was busy painting with different brushes and printing with crumpled paper.

The younger printmaking students also explored printing with found objects, sponges, and doilies. Today they printed in clay!

On another note: this past weekend was the Fine Arts Fund Sampler and we had about 80-100 people in the art room!

A Little Valentines Fun

This week, we took a little break from printmaking to create cards for the upcoming holiday.
The adult clay class has been working on sculpting large -scale work. Here are some images of smaller works recently finished.

Printing into February

Collagraphs were so much fun, it has been hard to leave them behind and start Drypoint.
The older students began etching their plexiglass plates this week while the younger students etched into foam. The preschool class is also experimenting with printing using a variety of objects, including sponges!
