Looking at pictorial examples we observed the basic structure of the insect body - the three main sections of head, thorax and abdomen, and how the legs and wings attach to the thorax. Then we looked at how simply a basic insect template can easily be changed into various types of insects simply by altering the shape and size of the wings and body component parts. We created the background of our pictures with leaf texture rubbings of flourescent oil pastel and watercolor wash . While our backgrounds dried we drew our insects, starting with the 3 basic body sections and then altering them to create insects of our choice - many chose dragonflies or butterflies, while others went for bees, preying mantis and a variety of other insects. We traced over all lines of the insects with sharpies and finer permanent black markers before adding color with the flourescent oil pastels, then cutting them out and gluing onto our backgrounds. Our pictures are shimmering with a lovely iridescence, and are very Spring-ish!

Make house painting a little bit easier and more successful with these clever painting tips and tricks

Bull images from the Lascaux Cave of France, painted nearly 20,000 years ago. The bulls, symbols, and other markings all are derived from images within the cave. My cave-inspired paintings are based on prehistoric images found in caves in France and Spain, many dating back 37,000 years. I've studied these remarkable images for years, fascinated by the way shaman artists captured the spirit of Paleolithic beasts who shared their world. My artwork features unique backgrounds of textured plaster, pumice, and acrylic gels that I create to resemble stone cave walls while remaining lightweight. All colors are based on pigments used in the original artworks, as are the dots, grids, handprints, and other markings I incorporate into my paintings. For each of these cave-inspired paintings, I make a wooden frame painted in red oxide, which is a color frequently found in the original cave art.

c1810-20 Caspar David Friedrich by Gerhard von Kügelgen Biographical information from Wikipedia: Caspar David Friedrich (1774 – 1840) was born in 1774, in Greifswald, Swedish Pomerania on the Baltic coast of Germany. The sixth of ten children, he was brought up in the strict Lutheran creed of his father Adolf Gottlieb Friedrich, a candle-maker and soap boiler. Caspar David was familiar with death from an early age. His mother, Sophie Dorothea Bechly, died in 1781 when he was just seven. A year later, his sister Elisabeth died, while a second sister, Maria, succumbed to typhus in 1791. Arguably the greatest tragedy of his childhood was the 1787 death of his brother Johann Christoffer: at the age of thirteen, Caspar David witnessed his younger brother fall through the ice of a frozen lake and drown. Some accounts suggest that Johann Christoffer perished while trying to rescue Caspar David, who was also in danger on the ice. Friedrich began his formal study of art in 1790 as a private student of artist Johann Gottfried Quistorp at the University of Greifswald. Quistorp took his students on outdoor drawing excursions; as a result, Friedrich was encouraged to sketch from life at an early age. Through Quistorp, Friedrich met and was subsequently influenced by the theologian Ludwig Gotthard Kosegarten, who taught that nature was a revelation of God. Quistorp introduced Friedrich to the work of the German 17th-century artist Adam Elsheimer, whose works often included religious subjects dominated by landscape, and nocturnal subjects. Adam Elsheimer "Flight into Egypt 1609 oil on copper 31 x 42 cm Four years later Friedrich entered the prestigious Academy of Copenhagen, where he began his education by making copies of casts from antique sculptures before proceeding to drawing from life. Living in Copenhagen afforded the young painter access to the Royal Picture Gallery’s collection of 17th-century Dutch landscape painting. At the Academy he studied under teachers such as Christian August Lorentzen and the landscape painter Jens Juel. These artists were inspired by the Sturm und Drang movement and represented a midpoint between the dramatic intensity and expressive manner of the budding Romantic aesthetic and the waning neo-classical ideal. Mood was paramount, and influence was drawn from such sources as the Icelandic legend of Edda, the poems of Ossian and Norse mythology. Christian August Lorentzen "Silke Saugen" oil on canvas 44.5 x 58.5 cm Jens Juel "Shore at Vedbaek" 1807 The Cross in the Mountains oil on canvas 115 x 110.5 cm Friedrich married Caroline Bommer in 1818 and they would have three children. Friedrich was acquainted with Philipp Otto Runge, another leading German painter of the Romantic period. He was also a friend of Georg Friedrich Kersting, who painted him at work in his unadorned studio, and of the Norwegian painter Johann Christian Dahl. 1811 Friedrich's Studio by Georg Friedrich Kersting oil on canvas 54 x 42 cm Friedrich's reputation steadily declined over the final fifteen years of his life. As the ideals of early Romanticism passed from fashion, he came to be viewed as an eccentric and melancholy character, out of touch with the times. Gradually his patrons fell away. By 1820, he was living as a recluse and was described by friends as the "most solitary of the solitary". Towards the end of his life he lived in relative poverty and was increasingly dependent on the charity of friends. In 1835, Friedrich suffered his first stroke, which left him with minor limb paralysis and greatly reduced his ability to paint. As a result he was unable to work in oil; instead he was limited to watercolour, sepia and reworking older compositions. Although his vision remained strong, he had lost the full strength of his hand. Yet he was able to produce a final 'black painting', Seashore by Moonlight, described by Vaughan as the "darkest of all his shorelines, in which richness of tonality compensates for the lack of his former finesse". 1835-36 Seashore by Moonlight oil on canvas 73 x 58 cm.

After learning about Mary Cassatt and her pastel drawings, the children use colored chalk to depict a close relationship between two people. For all ages. Plan 1 to 2 sessions. KEY IDEAS Learning about Mary Cassatt and her pastel drawings Working in the style of Mary Cassatt using colored chalk Learning ways to depict relationships in art LANGUAGE realistic, sketchy, background, relationship RESOURCES Click here for more information about Mary Cassatt. Click here for five examples of Mary Cassatt's pastels. I also include these two oil paintings to show fathers with their children and relationships between two friends. BACKGROUND The Life of Mary Cassatt Mary Cassatt is best known for her portraits of mothers and children. Using paints, pastels, and printmaking, she depicts the close relationships between two people through an embrace, eye contact, holding hands, or simply sharing an activity. She was born in 1844 in Pennsylvania. As the daughter of a successful banker, she grew up privileged and cultivated. Her father was delighted with her painting talents and sent her to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. It was considered appropriate and refined for a woman to learn to paint and to use this talent at home, but when she decided to paint professionally, her father became distressed. When she turned 21, Mary Cassatt chose career over marriage and left to study in Europe against her father’s wishes. She became friends with Edward Degas who was part of a new and controversial art movement in Paris called Impressionism. Degas had a strong influence on her work and she eventually exhibited her paintings along with other Impressionists in Paris. Like Degas, she often used pastels because of their freshness and spontaneity. Her artwork mostly depicts the relationships between women and children, portrayed up close and physically interacting. To emphasize her subjects, she took special care to draw their faces and hands in a realistic manner, while their clothing, as well as the backgrounds, were rendered sketchily with less detail. At the age of 56, her eyesight began to fail from diabetes, and by 70 she was forced to stop working on her art. She died in 1926 in Paris. YOU WILL NEED Drawing pencils Colored drawing chalk of good quality 9- by 12-inch construction paper— brown or gray will bring out the lighter colors of chalk Scrap paper Paper towels Newspaper pads Examples of Mary Cassatt’s work Spray fixative THE PROJECT Preparation Become familiar with the life and work of Mary Cassatt. Gather examples of her work. Set out pencils, construction paper, colored chalk, newspaper pads, scrap paper, and paper towels. How to Begin Display as many examples of Cassatt’s work as possible. As the children look closely, tell them about her life and her work. Tell the children that they will be making drawings using the style of Mary Cassatt. Explain that their drawings should depict a relationship, or special feeling, between an adult and a child or between two friends. Discuss some ways to show affection, such as holding hands, placing an arm around a shoulder, eye contact, or sharing an activity. Have some of the children demonstrate how arms appear when wrapped around a friend's shoulders or holding a baby. Discuss how Mary Cassatt made people the most important part of her pictures by drawing their faces and hands as realistically, or real, as possible, while drawing the rest of the figures and the background, or areas farthest from the viewer, in a looser, sketchier manner. Show the children how to work with colored chalk, explaining that it is very similar to the pastels Mary Cassatt used. To make the chalk easier to apply, the children should place their papers on pads of newspaper. Explain that the chalk should be applied with a gentle firmness to get the brightest colors. Demonstrate how to blend colors by laying one color on top of another. Discourage rubbing the colors together, explaining that the Impressionists let our eyes do the blending. Show the children that they can add small details directly on top of a layer of colored chalk. For example, they should fill in the face color first, and then add the eyes, nose, and mouth directly on top of the skin color. Tell the children, when adding their details, to rest their hands on a piece of scrap paper to avoid lifting the already applied chalk from their pictures. Have paper towels available for the children to keep their chalk clean. Chalk dust will form as the chalk is applied. Warn the children not to brush it away because it will smear. Instead, they should gently blow it away or carefully shake their papers upside down. Give the children pencils and paper and have them lightly sketch the basic outline of two figures sharing a relationship. Have the children apply the colored chalk to their drawings, reminding them to rest their hands on scrap paper while working over already applied chalk and to gently blow away the chalk dust. Note: Have an adult spray the completed drawings with spray fixative in a well ventilated area. NOTES Some pastels contain pigments not suitable for children and all are relatively expensive. A good quality colored drawing chalk works well. Chalk will occasionally have a hard spot rendering it unusable. When this happens, break off the tip of the chalk and try again. It's helpful to demonstrate to the children how the chalk will smear if it is brushed away. Encourage them to gently blow it away. Light smudges of chalk dust can usually be erased with a plastic eraser. LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR WORK What relationship or feeling do you see in each picture? What information did the artists use to show us these relationships? Discuss how the artists emphasized the people in their pictures. What the children might say... The chalk is covering up all of my pencil lines. Oh no! I forgot to blow the chalk away! My hands are leaving marks all over my picture. This orange chalk is leaving blue marks where I don’t want them. Yikes! My chalk broke. This yellow chalk won’t work no matter how hard I push and it’s making streaks on my paper. What you might say... You can redraw your details directly on top of your first layer of chalk. If you accidentally brushed away your chalk dust, try applying another layer of chalk over the area that smeared. I can help you erase some of the lighter parts of the smear with a plastic eraser. Remember to rest your hand on the scrap paper when applying your details. Be sure to use a paper towel to wipe any chalk dust from your chalk before you use it. If your chalk breaks, don’t worry about it. Small pieces are often easier to use. Sometimes chalk has a hard spot in it and won’t work well. It can be fixed by breaking off a little piece.

DESCRIPTIONA small, hand painted box suitable for melktanden or something else little. The decoration was applied by hand by a Royal Delft painter, who has trained for up to ten years to be able to paint such intricate Delft Blue decorations. DETAILS- Hand painted with a Delft Blue decoration by Royal Delft painters- Size: 2.0"× 2.0" × 1.0"- Color: Delft Blue- Handmade in Netherlands- From the Nijntje (Miffy) collection     About Royal Delft's Craftmanship Royal Delft has been creating high-quality Delft Blue since 1653. The craft of painting is at the core of the company, although other decoration techniques have been developed over the years to create high-end earthenware. Carry on reading to discover the two different techniques that Royal Delft uses to this very day to make unique blue and white objects. Hand Painted The origin and core of Royal Delft is the hand painting of high-quality Delft Blue pottery. Decorating starts with applying the contours with charcoal, after which the panel painters shape the details freehand with special brushes made of marten and squirrel hair. The paint is water-based and color nuances are created by mixing the paint less or more with water. The Delft Blue décor is painted with a paint that for the most part consists of cobalt oxide according to age-old recipes. Due to chemical reactions during the baking process, it changes color – hidden under the glaze – in a black-painted pattern to blue.
