Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Two of Anything (2020 Countdown Day 10)

December 10, 2019

 It is #twosday and I am joining in with Cee’s Black and White Photo challenge (here) because this week the theme is: “two of anything” –  Here is my take: We try not to drink Keurig pods (because we want less exposure to plastics) but earlier this year we had this delicious “Culture Blend” – and what a … More Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Two of Anything (2020 Countdown Day 10)

SMILE (Seven Days of Art: Day FOUR) Dianne Dengel sketch and Oprah’s piece

December 8, 2016

This is another art piece that came my way because someone wanted the frame! Tsk, tsk, tsk. This sketch is a nice class sample because there are some guide lines that Dianne loosely sketched in. Students could see how the artist sectioned the page and began her sketch.

UNPLUG (Seven Days of Art: Day THREE)

December 7, 2016

This post is also Day THREE for the Seven Day Art Challenge.  It was a discard because someone wanted the frame.    While teaching some art lessons, I often referred to the wonderful “Pine Trees” by Hasegawa Tōhaku (Japanese, 1539–1610). The “Pine Trees” screen has been designated as National Treasure of Japan. See you tomorrow for Day FOUR   Special thanks to A Thursday’s Child … More UNPLUG (Seven Days of Art: Day THREE)
