Art Classes at Cornucopia August - September
This term students have worked on composition. We have also started using acrylic paints and talking about colour. Students first exercise in colour was to mix and make the colour wheel. We were all amazed at how many colours you could make by just using red, yellow and blue. The next challenge was to make a grayscale of white to black in about 9 steps. I can say all students found it difficult - but as any art student would know it takes years of practice to get it right. Our next objective is to make a painting in black & white - then move on to working on a canvas! I look forward to the results.
