Art Camp Gallery (part 2 of 4)

Artist #2.  This is Dean's first year of the "big kid" art camp.  It lasts 2 hours a day instead of one.

Dean's Art Work

Day 1

Blue Face

Blue Face is a painted dog.  First I'm pretty sure I did the eyes.  Then I outlined the dog with a black Sharpie.  Next I painted the blue on the dog.  I used a Sharpie to make his nose.  Then I did the background by painting it all yellow.  After it was yellow I added some pinkish-reddish paint in three spots.  My favorite thing about this painting is that this dog looks like he would be a good friend.

Day 2

Night at Sunset

First I painted the white then I painted the pink making it gradually brighten moving from light pink to dark pink.  Then I painted the dark blue.  Then I painted light blue on the grass then layered light green on top of the blue.  Finally I did the trees.  I painted the tree trunk going back and adding the branches later.  What I like about this painting is that it shows that God made the sky and trees.

Day 3

Clay Pot

First I took brown chalk pastel (I think it is just pastel) and drew the sides.  Then I did the middle white and colored it in the middle.  Then I shaded the sides into the white in the middle.  Next I colored the bottom of the pot white.  Then used the brown from the sides again and shaded that in.  Next I colored the white background above the table.  Finally I used brown and colored the table.  Mrs. Belinda helped make it look round.  What I like about this picture is that it looks like a clay pot.

Final Day

Teeth of the Shark

First I painted the blue ocean on the canvas.  Then I painted the dark blue on the top of the shark.  Next I put some really light blue or white that surrounds his mouth and creates his underbelly.  After that I painted his red tongue and the black on the inside of his mouth.   Then I painted the green island.  The next day I came in and added palm trees to the island.  I wanted to do the sky but it was too late so I did blue clouds in a white sky.  My favorite thing about this canvas is that it reminds me of the beach and it looks cool.

Overall I loved art camp and really loved the free draw time.  Mrs. Belinda is a sweet art teacher.
