ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MS. LAURIE (aka the Art Genie)

After 15 years of mixing colors, chasing glitter, rescuing runaway googly eyes, and cheering on artists of every age, I've decided it's time to hang up my paint apron and retire from teaching art classes.

I'm filled with gratitude for every student, family, and friend who made this studio such a magical place. Together we've painted dreams, collaged adventures, and discovered that there are no mistakes—only unexpected masterpieces. Thank you for letting me be part of your artistic journey. Keep creating and never stop seeing the world as a canvas full of possibility.

With a grateful heart and paint-stained hands,
Ms. Laurie

Symmetry is a design element used in art, architecture, and consumer products, plus it is found in nature. It is pleasing to the eye and is a dominant organizational concept.

This week we folded paper in half, wrote our name, traced to create a mirror image - then added crazy details to form a zany creature!

Eli Halpin grew up in Alaska in Anchorage, Alaska. She now lives in Austin Texas. Eli paints many different whimsical animals but she really enjoys painting peacocks that roam free in Austin TX.

Fun facts:
When a male peacock fans its ornamented train for the lady birds, its feathers quiver, emitting a low-frequency sound inaudible to human ears. Depending on whether they want to attract females from far away or up close, they can change the sound by shaking different parts of their feathers.

They don’t have to be killed for their feathers as they shed their train every year, so the feathers can be gathered and sold without the birds coming to any harm. The average lifespan of a peacock in the wild is about 20 years.

This week we had fun simplifying the complex feather design and colored in with watercolor pencils!

This week we started with black paper and use chalk pastels to create a moon glow. We added shadows and highlights to clouds, mountains, land and sea to create a 3-D effect. We worked hard on our light reflections in the water.

We are following a Moonshadow!

Edvard Munch (1863-1944) painted "The Scream" in 1893. He said, "One evening I was walking along a path, the city was on one side and the fjord below. I felt tired and ill. I stopped and looked out over the fjord—the sun was setting, and the clouds turning blood red. I sensed a scream passing through nature; it seemed to me that I heard the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood. The color shrieked. This became The Scream." His color choices, subject matter, and brush strokes created an incredible iconic image that sold for $120 million at auction in 2012.

This week we learned how to draw a screaming face (the eyes, eyebrows, mouth, and entire face change shape and placement) along with the things that make us SCREEEEEEAM!
