Le Claire's Art Classes

This Page is the place for my former high school students to view their artworks and share experiences from their times in my classes.

The page originally was meant for current students to view and share their artworks with friends, families and colleges. This page is the official place to view artwork from students in Le Claire's Art Classes, at Menlo-Atherton High School, a public school in the SF Bay Area of California. You can find artwork by class level, project, and individuals. The work on display begins with the

Keith Haring in 3D is the first major exhibition dedicated entirely to the three-dimensional work of Keith Haring. While Haring is most often associated with his iconic subway drawings and paintings, the exhibition highlights a lesser-known aspect of his practice, revealing how he extended his unmistakable visual language into sculpture, found objects, fashion, performance, and public art.

Curated by Glenn Adamson (@glenn_adamson), the exhibition brings together a wide range of works that demonstrate Haring’s instinctive ability to work across scale and material. From objects gathered off the streets of New York to monumental sculptures in wood and metal, the exhibition traces how Haring transformed everyday forms into vehicles for artistic expression. The exhibition also marks the inaugural presentation in Crystal Bridges’ new 14,000-square-foot rotating exhibition space, part of the museum’s major expansion.

‘Keith Haring in 3D’ opens today at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (@crystalbridgesmuseum) and remains on view through January 2027.

Color Schemes and Color Harmony

Color Harmony – The pleasing combination of colors; achieving order and balance.

Color Scheme – The choice of colors used in a work of art; combinations of color to create color harmony.

Color Wheel – The tool used by artists for color selection; the color spectrum in a sectioned circle.

Analogous Color Scheme – Three or four colors that are next to each other on the color wheel and are closely related to each other, such as blue, blue-green, and green.

Triadic Color Scheme – Three colors on the color wheel that are evenly spaced from one another creating a triangle, such as red, yellow, and blue.

Complementary Color Scheme – Colors directly across from each other on the color wheel; yellow and violet are complementary colors.

Split-Complementary Color Scheme – The use of a color and the two colors on each side of its complementary color, such as yellow, red-violet, and blue-violet.

Alternate Color Scheme – The use of three or more colors from the color wheel that skip a color between them, such as red, orange, and yellow (skipping, or not using, red-orange and yellow-orange).

Monochromatic Color Scheme – The use of one color and variations of it through value or intensity changes of it.

Use one color scheme listed above to create a unique artwork that conveys a story or a message to the viewer; using the color scheme to enhance that story or message.
