Colors everywhere! This month we are looking through the eyes of Alfred Sisley, one of the founders of French Impressionism, but whose name is often forgotten. We are going to be learning just why he is so overlooked, and try out some nature-based color theory ourselves.
1885
FYI: The supply list may look more like a craft than a serious art study, but I promise that the concepts we are covering will make it easier for advanced students to “see” reference images more clearly.
In order to complete this month’s project you will need the following:
- Pencil sharpener
- Scrap Paper
- Seed beads in various colors, (younger students would probably do better with pony beads)
- Fishing line or other very strong thin cord (younger students may prefer a few old shoelaces)
- Colored pencils (if you have older students, please consider artist-grade. They make layering easier)
- Scissors
- Paint palette (this is just to control roll-away beads – a disposable plastic plate works well)
Optional items – NOT necessary, but may make your experience better.
- Beading needles
- tape
Note: You can see images and/or purchase the entire materials list at https://amzn.to/2XTyiN7. Please make sure that all supplies are clearly labeled with your family’s name.
Remember, these classes are CASUAL. Please bring dinner if it helps you to feel less rushed.
See you Friday at 6:30!
