Drawing Classes at my Home Studio

I wanted to share some absolute gems drawn by talented students ages (12-14 years old) in my studio drawing class. The assignment was self portraits and students were challenged with using 3 different mediums including charcoal and ink.





Summer Camps at The Arts Center!

I wanted to share a few of the many projects young artists worked on at Summer Arts and Culture Camps at the Corvallis Arts Center this summer! During Master Artists week, I taught young artists about the work of Andy Warhol and they created a self portrait project as well as designed their own Soup Can labels.


Creepy Critters campers got to play with clay and sculpt creepy crawlers. We also went outside and made bug houses and habitats with clay and natural materials.

During animal week, campers got some real live animal models to draw and paint! Here we are drawing some dwarf goats!


 During invention week students in my classes were given a series of challenges using different mediums each day including creating story cards, games and musical clay instruments. They then created group projects of their choosing ( design pictured below).
What a great summer!!
