Everybody enjoys art! Today we had the pleasure of learning about painting with Evelyn! Evelyn is a former art instructor and is an active artist. Evelyn brought in some of her own work along with books and pictures for us to explore and talk about. We talked about color, light, impressionism and more!
Evelyn talked to us about the different qualities in painting and how the impressionists learned that just laying one color next to the other created a beautiful impression of the thing they were painting.
We spent the next part of the meeting learning
"al fresco" in the beautiful afternoon sun.
The girls looked through paintings and discussed
what the painting made them feel and think about.
Evelyn took us back inside for another lesson and some painting of our own. We learned about complimentary colors and performed a fun experiment to learn about those colors.
Put a red rectangle against a white background and stare at it for a minute. Close your eyes and wait for an image to appear. What color is it? Do the same with a green rectangle. Do you see it?
The next lesson was all about laying color next to color and watching the impression of the thing appear. The girls began painting their own masterpieces!
See for yourself in a slide show!
