Painting

I'm really excited about my painting class this semester. I'll introduce kids to a painter- then have them do that kind of painting. We decided to start with recent and move backward instead of starting with the Renaissance and moving forward. Hopefully it captures their interest more and certainly it's easier on their skills since everybody looks at a minimalist or an abstract-expressionist and says "Hey, I could do THAT!"

Anyway, I'm posting some of what I learn as I'm teaching, and I thought that since you're all artists yourselves, maybe you might think some of it was interesting. I hope so anyway. Today we looked at pictures of naked ladies. That always makes an art class interesting. See what I mean by going to:
