1. Northeast Ohio Kids Art: 3-D Food Workshop

We had another successful northeast ohio kids art class, this time making 3-D food drawings! We used the medium of pastel to create our own interpretations of artist Wayne Thiebaud’s pop art paintings.

This class incorporated the use of 1 and 2 point perspective drawing! We also practiced adding a light and shadow side to objects. The results were wonderful!

 

We created pop art milkshakes,

2. Inspiration

This is where I went today~





And this is what I saw ~








The amazing wonderful work of the amazing and wonderful Wayne Thiebaud at the Crocker Museum. The new addition is open (and is not blue like in my pictures, but rather, all white) and is impressive.

The art - well, what can I say. (I hope Mr. Thiebaud doesn't mind me sharing these pictures on my blog - copyright and all that.) There were pieces he did in the early '60s all the way through this year. I was able to get this close to them all and see the brushstrokes and how he layered the paint in places. Some are almost abstract up very close, then magically turn into a basket of fries or a bit of landscape or something when you stand back. The paintings are simple and complex at the same time. A real treat.

Devil’s Island

Coordinates: 5 16 N 52 34 W

Area: 34.6 acres (14 hectares)

Today, urban dwellers may yearn for the occasional retreat to a tropical paradise, but for about a century there were plenty of people who longed to escape from just such a place. Between 1852 and about 1953 this Atlantic island off the coast of French Guiana served as a penal colony intended for prisoners suffering from contagious diseases—leprosy in particular. (more…)
