This past week, elementary aged artists also worked with clay and created "grab bag" collages. Grab bag collages challenged students to work with a few specific materials (in the bag) and add their own elements. One class made story tiles out of clay (pictured above). The middle school students have continued collage and have also added still life drawings to create in interesting mixture of drawing and collage. I have a few more block prints to add as well. Jeannette continues to teach her drawing class, while Ron continues his Graphic Novel class. I will try to get a few pictures from those classes as well. This coming week is our final week of Winter! I will be posting finished projects and preparing to launch into the spring quarter!<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7479582360540517781-2632319871843843277?l=vivawyoming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melinda E.

I have really been impressed by the beautiful textures created through this process. This week we will be concentrating on printing monotypes with hand cut stencils. Elementary age students will also use pre-cut paper for a variety of prints. This process is so much fun! <div>The preschool class has been learning about patterns and last week made crazy hats. Finished ceramic projects from my adult Handbuilding class coming soon. My students are working on a traditional table setting which can end up being sculptural or function with a variety of surface treatments. Very exciting to watch the project taking shape! </div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7479582360540517781-7402298995683873128?l=vivawyoming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melinda E.

With a focus on printmaking and collage, our first projects are on their way. Students have been learning about collographs and monotype as well as printing with found objects to create texture. The middle school Homeschool class has just completed paper houses that will be in an upcoming show at <a href="http://www.prairiecincinnati.com/">Prairie Gallery</a>. The show opens on the 11th of February. This was a project my students did with local artist Tony Becker. More details to come. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7479582360540517781-2054557357291076889?l=vivawyoming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melinda E.

This fall quarter has been so busy, I have neglected this blog. With a focus on drawing, students are learning to see the world around them in a new way! We have also been working in clay: students had to create a story about the clay objects they created. In the Middle School classes students are in the midst of a stop animation project using drawing or clay. Preschoolers have been busy exploring art materials.

The piano is located in front of the Center. This past week, local high school artist, Miranda Borack created a design for the piano and worked with another local artist, Kelly Langdon and the Piano Camp students to fulfill Miranda's design! Here are a few pictures of the process. When the final sign is in place, I will have a finished image. Stop by the Center and try out the piano, whether you are a musician or not!

Each day preschoolers had an art theme: lines, colors, textures, etc that they explored with a variety of 3d and 2d materials. Campers in the Super Sculpture Camp used clay, wire, paper mache, Styrofoam, pipe cleaners and recycled materials to create works of art in the round. Take a look at all the fun!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7479582360540517781-2529518054458618186?l=vivawyoming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melinda E.

This past week, we ventured out-of-doors to paint from life in the spring air. Those paintings I will post as they are finished. The preschool classes continue to explore painting, collage and other materials.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7479582360540517781-1144311712660100879?l=vivawyoming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melinda E.

This quarter focuses on painting and we began by looking at some of the oldest paintings in the cave of Lascaux. Students made paint from ground up charcoal as we talked about pigments and vehicles (or binders). Next we talked about value and students created value scales with black and white paint. More painting fun to come!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7479582360540517781-3387302658666494287?l=vivawyoming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melinda E.

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).<br /><br />The preschool class was busy painting with different brushes and printing with crumpled paper.<br /><br />The younger printmaking students also explored printing with found objects, sponges, and doilies. Today they printed in clay!<br /><br />On another note: this past weekend was the Fine Arts Fund Sampler and we had about 80-100 people in the art room!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7479582360540517781-2636443210286360028?l=vivawyoming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melinda E.

At the last class of the quarter, students looked at their first and last portraits and saw clear evidence of improved drawing <span style="font-style: italic;">and </span>observation skills. I will be posting these "before and after" self portraits as they are finished. The one on the left is the first portrait, the one on the right completed the last day of class. These drawings were created by students ages 6-14<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7479582360540517781-3724712880901502125?l=vivawyoming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melinda E.

The focus this quarter is on drawing, specifically learning to observe the world carefully and render it realistically on paper. The preschool class has been very busy discovering and creating!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7479582360540517781-5216662883561757075?l=vivawyoming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melinda E.

Clean and uncluttered, the transformation reflects a change in the art school's curriculum: a unique focus on drawing as the pivotal foundation to all other creative and artistic endeavors. To learn to look closely at the world around you, to learn to see it in new way and to translate that into a two- dimensional drawing is a powerful tool that can be utilized throughout life.<br /><br />Open to anyone, of any age interested in study of art, from around the tristate, our classes start with beginning drawing, painting &amp; printmaking. Classes at VIVA are small and sequential so that each student’s knowledge will be built upon as they move through classes.<br /><br />Offering a strong foundation in visual arts, VIVA students can further broaden their abilities in Photography, Ceramics, Computer Graphic Design, Bookbinding, Portfolio Development and more. VIVA instructors meet students at their skill level, build on past experiences, and challenge them creatively while developing critical thinking skills… all within a safe, energizing and supporting environment.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7479582360540517781-3850589110880035272?l=vivawyoming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melinda E.
