The Snow Queen! Done by my older student! Vickie put a lot of effort into this work!

Our last winter-inspired theme this year! Th Snow Queen, done by children ages 7-9y. All students create their own composition, so each work is unique!

Our winter inspired theme - polar bears and icebergs! We were really working hard creating beautiful gradients! All students create their own composition, so each work is unique!

The theme here is Japanese snow monkeys that bathe in hot springs during the winter. Children (agew 7-10) who are ready for the extra challenge got a task of adding a person to their composition. All children create their own composition, so there are no identical drawings or paintings!

These are the works done by children ages 7-9. The theme this time was Japanese snow monkeys that bathe in hot springs during the winter. All children create their own composition, so each drawing is unique!

Still life, a kettle and two apples! These still life paintings were done with gouache paint by my older students (~10-12y).

One of my students worked on the piece below for quite a long time. Lots of effort put into this work!

This is the fall theme, executed with color pencils. These works are done by my youngest artists. The challenge was to do a reflection which appears darker due to the dark color of the lake water.

With my older group (ages 9-12y) we were studying the anatomy of a horse. Children were shown the skeleton structure of a horse, and proportions were dicussed. It was especially important to unerstand the structure of the hind legs, since they are a bit more challenging than the front pair.

The paintings done by the young artists, working in a longer class (1.5h). The challenge was to paint the reflection in the water. Children had a choice to illustrate either a horse, or a moose, or a deer. Everyone picked a deer.

Here are the seagulls that my youngest students painted with watercolors and gouache in the beginning of the year. The task was to illustrate flying seagulls, resting seagulls, and moody seagulls, shrieking and flapping their wings. Young artists were also deciding on their own what kind of mood the sea was in (stormy or calm).
